Abstract
The present disclosure relates to communication networks. Some embodiments may include a communication network with two or more network nodes each comprising: a receiver discerning the signal quality of received signals; a transmitter sending signals at different data rates; and a controllable terminating impedance. A network node transmits the discerned signal quality to one or more additional network nodes, a network node records the signal qualities and corresponding values of the terminating impedances of the respective network nodes. A network node prescribes for additional network nodes a new respective value to set as a terminating impedance. A network node determines new terminating impedance values to optimize the data rate between the various network nodes and the signal quality at each of the network nodes.
