Abstract
An adaptive method for sending data over a communications path from a source node to a destination node through a communications tunnel, the communications path comprising the source node, the destination node, and at least one intermediate node. The steps include initiating a communications session; determining a communication path for establishing the communications tunnel from the source node to the destination node, the path comprising one or more intermediate nodes; synchronizing the nodes; measuring the channel conditions of each of the communication segments between nodes to determine at least one channel transmission parameter; selecting a transmission scheme dependent on the channel parameter(s); reserving resources at the intermediate node(s) and destination node in sequential time slots such that resources at a node are reserved during the time slot in which the data is expected to arrive; and transmitting data through the communications tunnel using the selected transmission scheme.
