TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a method that operates to receive information through at least one input of a protocol layer packet segmentation unit and dynamically vary packet segment size in accordance with the received information prior to transmission to a receiver.
Abstract
In one exemplary aspect thereof the invention provides a method that operates to receive information through at least one input of a protocol layer packet segmentation unit and to dynamically vary packet segment size in accordance with the received information prior to transmission to a receiver. The information received through the at least one input may include information related to channel quality for a channel through which packet data are transmitted to the receiver. The information received through the at least one input may also be or may include information received from at least one of a higher protocol layer or a lower protocol layer.

Power boosting in a wireless communication system

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a power boosting scheme for transmission of a packet of data, which incorporates a power boost factor for each installment, on receipt of a negative acknowledgement after the power boosted portion of installments, transmission of the subpacket is terminated, and processing passed to a higher layer.

Adaptive MAC fragmentation and rate selection for 802.11 wireless networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for setting and adjusting MAC fragmentation threshold for IEEE 802.11 networks operating at different data rates is presented, where the fragmentation threshold is adjusted based on throughput performance, delay constraints and hidden node influence.
Patent

Packet size control technique

TL;DR: In this paper, a packet size control method allowing reduction in the period of time during which transmission is in a blocked state is disclosed, where the size of a packet to be sent is determined depending on a measured round trip time (RTT), a current bandwidth of the data link layer, and a current congestion window size.
