Abstract

A device or chip can be designed and/or programmed to select different sets of wireless link rate determination operations that account for different degrees of presentation time sensitivity that correspond to different classes of traffic. The device or chip can infer or explicitly determine presentation time sensitivity based, at least in part, on traffic class. The selected wireless link rate operations select link rates for the different classes of traffic. A first set of the wireless link rate determination operations can choose a smoother and more stable wireless link rate for the wireless traffic class that conveys presentation time sensitive content. A second of the wireless link rate determination operations can choose a fastest possible wireless link rate, which may be more susceptible to jitter and delay, for a traffic class that is less sensitive.
