MCS Feedback Link Adaptation Reference Payload

The patent introduces a reference payload size as an intermediary element that mediates between the receiving device's MCS recommendation and the transmitting device's interpretation. This reference value serves as a common basis that enables the transmitting device to properly understand and apply the MCS feedback by comparing actual transmission conditions against this standardized reference, thereby resolving the interpretation problem without complicating the feedback mechanism itself

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing a reference payload size parameter that standardizes the basis for MCS selection. Instead of adapting to every varying transmission condition, the system changes the reference framework to a fixed payload size, allowing the transmitting device to adjust its interpretation based on the ratio between the reference payload size and actual payload size. This approach maintains relatively simple link adaptation logic while improving transmission performance through parameter-based adjustment
