Goodput Analysis and Link Adaptation for IEEE 802.11a Wireless LANs (2002, background): “The authors of [5] The basic idea of RBAR can be summarized as follows: First, the receiver estimates the wireless channel quality using a sample of the instantaneously received signal strength at the end of the RTS reception, then selects the appropriate transmission rate based on this estimate…”
Opportunistic routing in multi-hop wireless networks (2004, background): “the best bit rate to send at, as in the RBAR protocol [ 10 ].”
CARA: Collision-Aware Rate Adaptation for IEEE 802.11 WLANs (2006, background): “Since the 802.11 standard does not specify any algorithm and/or protocol to efficiently utilize the multiple transmission rates, many rate adaptation schemes have been proposed [11]– [13], [15], [18]–[21].”
Idle sense: an optimal access method for high throughput and fairness in rate diverse wireless LANs (2005, methodology): “Another method, the Receiver Based Auto Rate (RBAR), makes use of the RTS/CTS mechanism: the receiver reports the SNR of the RTS frame in a replying CTS frame [13].”
End-to-end performance and fairness in multihop wireless backhaul networks (2004, methodology): “In particular, we consider Receiver Based Auto Rate (RBAR) [13] and Opportunistic Auto Rate (OAR) [29].”

Joint scheduling and power control for wireless ad hoc networks (2002, background): “For instance, adapting the transmission rate based on link state information passed from the physical to the MAC layer was shown to improve the performance of the IEEE 802.11 protocol [ 33 ].”
CoopMAC: A Cooperative MAC for Wireless LANs (2007, methodology): “Receiver Based Auto Rate (RBAR) [16] measures the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the RTS frame at the receiver and compares the SNR with a set of pre-deﬁned thresholds to choose the best modulation scheme.”

A cautionary perspective on cross-layer design (2005, background): “The idea behind rate-adaptive MAC protocols is to send data at higher rates when the channel quality is good [ 11 ].”
Bit-rate selection in wireless networks (2005, methodology): “When a receiver gets an RTS packet, it calculates the highest bit-rate that would achieve a BER less than 10 5 based on the S/N of the RTS packet using functions in [8].”

Cross-layer wireless bit rate adaptation (2009, methodology): “On the other hand, SNRbased protocols [ 10 , 21] can operate on shorter timescales by estimating the SNR on each reception and mapping it to the expected BER using known SNR-BER relationships.”
Hierarchical control of multiple resources in distributed real-time and embedded systems (2006, background): “Moreover, the wireless network bandwidth available to transmit images from the UAVs to the receiver depends on the channel capacity of the wireless network, which in-turn depends on dynamic factors, such as the speed of the UAVs and the relative distance between UAVs and the receiver due to adaptive”
