Abstract :
This paper describes the problems of wireless LAN usage in the user´s home with focus on high quality, real-time media transmission. Results of physical channel measurements with respect to fading effects and channel power are analyzed and experimentally obtained link data rates are presented. Methods for a transmitter based link adaptation are described and evaluated to increase the reliability of the physical data transmission.
