Abstract
A wireless communication device includes a medium access control device, a first module and a second module. The medium access control device is configured to determine a first parameter based on a condition of a channel. The wireless communication device communicates, via the channel, with a device separate from the wireless communication device. The first module is configured to, based on the first parameter, determine whether an operating environment of the wireless communication device is a rich-scattering environment or a line of sight environment. The second module is configured to adjust a second parameter of the wireless communication device based on the operating environment as determined by the first module. The second parameter is different than the first parameter.
