Abstract
In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for adapting data rate in a communication system. A receiving device receives a data transmission at an initial data rate. The device determines, based on an error rate of the data transmission at the initial data rate, that a first criterion is satisfied for requesting an increase in the data transmission. The device requests that a transmitting device increase the data transmission from the initial data rate to the first subsequent data rate. The device determines, based on an error rate of the data transmission at the first subsequent data rate, whether a second criterion is satisfied for maintaining the first subsequent data rate. The device maintains, if the second criterion is determined to be satisfied, a state of the device for receiving the data transmission at the first subsequent data rate.
