  • Method and system for 4D-TDMA multi-user transmission
    Patent number: 10454568
    Abstract: A method and a system for multi-user transmission in a network, comprising at least on network control center NCC and one or more terminals, wherein the method comprises at least the following steps: determining the number of 4D-TDMA carriers as a function of the number and needs of the terminals, determining the type (SCPC or TDMA) and frequency band Bi of each of the 4D-TDMA carriers as a function of the terminals transmitting on the carriers, for each frame, dividing the band B into PTDMA transmission channels and into PSCPC service channels, each channel consisting of frames comprising a plurality of slots, STDMA slots and SSCPC slots, dynamically allocating a plurality of slots of a 4D-TDMA carrier according to the services required by each terminal, configuring the coding and modulation scheme of each slot by taking account of the quality of the received signals.
