Disclosed wireless networks, wireless devices and methods may provide adaptive spatial reuse to optimize communications performance. In one illustrative embodiment, a wireless network station includes: a baseband processor that frames data units for wireless transmission to a given station; and a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) that couples the baseband processor to one or more antennas. The baseband processor systematically assigns wireless transmission settings to different intervals of data unit transmission to the given station to periodically evaluate a performance for each combination of wireless transmission setting values, the assignment causing settings associated with enhanced performance to be employed with an increased probability or duration.
