Abstract
A method and apparatus for adjusting the transmission power level or transmission data rate between a plurality of stations located within the coverage area of a basic service set (BSS) or in an independent basic service set (IBSS) in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The receiving station extracts a transmission data rate from an incoming signal, determines a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the incoming signal, and then calculates noise margin information based on a difference between the SNR of the incoming signal and a minimum SNRfor the extracted data rate. The noise margin is then transmitted back to the original transmitting station and using the noise margin information, the transmit power level and/or the transmission rate of this station may be adjusted accordingly.
