Abstract:
A method and apparatus for establishing a connection between a server and a remote device over a communication network. Data transmission is attempted at a first carrier frequency and bit rate. If transmission is unsuccessful, the bit rate is lowered. If transmission remains unsuccessful, the carrier frequency is changed to a second carrier frequency. As data transmission continues, the bit rate may be interactively increased or decreased in order to maximize data transfer throughput.
