Abstract
For each of a plurality of modulation techniques, corresponding data reception history information is stored. A particular modulation technique is selected from amongst the plurality of modulation techniques (52). At least one block of data is transmitted using the particular modulation technique (55). A message is received that provides information regarding reception of the at least one block of data, including whether reception of each of the at least one block of data occurred without error (56). The data reception history information is updated for the particular modulation technique using the information regarding reception (57). The data reception history information is used to determine an estimate of transmission signal quality (51).
