Link adaptation

Link adaptation is like a very intelligent person who can speak many different languages. When we use our devices like phones and computers to connect to the internet, they rely on wireless signals to communicate with the network. These signals can have different strengths and qualities depending on many factors like distance, obstacles, and interference.

Link adaptation helps our devices understand these signals much better, like how we understand different languages. It allows them to adjust to the signal's changing properties and use the best possible way to send and receive data.

Think of it this way: When we talk to someone who doesn't speak the same language as us, it can be hard to understand each other. But if we know how to speak their language, we can communicate better. Link adaptation does this for our devices, making sure they can always "speak" the language of the signal they are receiving. This makes it easier for our devices to maintain a strong and stable connection to the network, which means we can access the internet faster and without interruptions.
