== Adapting MAC scheduling based on PHY parameters ==

Communication systems that need to operate over media with non stationary background noise and interference may benefit from having a close coordination between the [[Medium access control|MAC]] layer (which is responsible for scheduling transmissions) and the [[Physical layer|PHY]] layer (which manages actual transmission and reception of data over the media).<ref>S. Shabdanov, P. Mitran, C. Rosenberg,

In some communications channels (for example, in power lines), noise and interference may be non-stationary and might vary synchronously with the 50 or 60&nbsp;Hz [[AC current]] cycle. In scenarios like this, the overall system performance can be improved if the MAC can get information from the PHY regarding when and how the noise and interference level is changing, so that the MAC can schedule transmission during the periods of time in which noise and interference levels are lower.<ref name="Miao"/>
