A id='REI-00001' date='20150721' systemid='REI-00001' id='REI-00002' date='20150721' method id='REI-00002' that adapts wireless link parameters for a wireless communication link. A measure is determined of id='REI-00003' date='20150721' errorsid='REI-00003' id='REI-00004' date='20150721' signal quality id='REI-00004' occurring in communication over a wireless link. In a case that the measure of id='REI-00005' date='20150721' errorsid='REI-00005' id='REI-00006' date='20150721' signal quality id='REI-00006' corresponds to more errors than a first predetermined threshold, communication changes from a first set of wireless link parameters to a second set of wireless link parameters. The second set of wireless link parameters corresponds to higher error tolerance than the first set of wireless link parameters. In a case that the id='REI-00007' date='20150721' measure of errorsid='REI-00007' id='REI-00008' date='20150721' signal quality id='REI-00008' corresponds to fewer errors than a second predetermined threshold, communication changes from the first set of wireless link parameters to a third set of wireless link parameters. The third set of wireless link parameters corresponds to lower error tolerance than the first set of wireless link parameters. Preferably, the measure of id='REI-00009' date='20150721' errorsid='REI-00009' id='REI-00010' date='20150721' signal quality id='REI-00010' is determined by monitoring a number of NACK messages and a number of ACK messages that occur. It is determined that the measure of id='REI-00011' date='20150721' errorsid='REI-00011' id='REI-00012' date='20150721' signal quality id='REI-00012' corresponds to more errors than the first predetermined threshold when more than a predetermined number of NACK messages occur in succession. It is determined that the measure of id='REI-00013' date='20150721' errorsid='REI-00013' id='REI-00014' date='20150721' signal quality id='REI-00014' corresponds to fewer errors than the second predetermined threshold when more than a predetermined number of ACK messages occur in succession.
