US Patent 10237014 Link adaptation enhancements

Certain aspects relate to methods, apparatuses, computer readable mediums and wireless nodes. For example, an apparatus generally includes an interface configured to obtain, during a TXOP owned by a second apparatus, at least one first frame from the second apparatus and a processing system configured to (i) determine a MCS associated with the at least one first frame, (ii) increase a value of a counter if the MCS associated with the at least one first frame is the same as a MCS associated with a frame previously obtained by the apparatus during the TXOP and (iii) take one or more actions based on the counter value.
