Abstract
In some examples, an apparatus may be usable in a first network and configurable to operate within a proximity of a second network that communicates traffic that interferes with data communication in the first network. The apparatus may include a calculation module configured to calculate a packet loss rate. The apparatus may include a determination module coupled to the calculation module and configured to determine whether the packet loss rate exceeds a particular threshold level. The apparatus may include a preamble module coupled to the determination module and configured to dynamically adjust a number of protective bytes included in a packet preamble in response to a determination by the determination module that the packet loss rate exceeds the particular threshold level. The protective bytes may be effective to reduce packet corruption due to turnaround time collisions between packets communicated in the first network and traffic communicated in the second network.
