1. A wireless transmitter configured to transmit data to a wireless receiver using a selected modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of a plurality of MCSs, each MCS defining an upper limit of an error vector magnitude (EVM) corresponding to an upper limit of a transmitted power of the wireless transmitter, wherein the wireless transmitter is configured to:
transmit data to the wireless receiver using the selected MCS and an adjusted transmitted power that is larger or smaller than the upper limit of the transmitted power, when the combined effects of an adjusted EVM and an adjusted received power at the wireless receiver caused by the adjusted transmitted power result in an improved data transmission performance, wherein the improved data transmission performance is a larger signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the wireless receiver;
determine whether the combined effects of the adjusted EVM and the adjusted received power caused by the adjusted transmitted power result in a larger SINR at the wireless receiver on the basis of information about a SINR at the wireless receiver for a preceding data transmission; and
estimate a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the wireless receiver for the preceding data transmission on the basis of the information about the SINR at the wireless receiver for the preceding data transmission and a relation between the transmitted power of the wireless transmitter for the preceding data transmission and the EVM resulting from the transmitted power for the preceding data transmission.
