802.16 also has adaptive modulation and coding that alter the rate of
the channel and may vary as the distance between a base station and
subscriber station changes.  Adaptive coding is common for satellite
links as well.  It seems like this type of event could be useful to
signal if it resulted in more than a doubling or halving of capacity, as
a simple filter.
