  • Apparatus and method for link adaptation of packet data service on satellite systems
    Publication number: 20030129943
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for adapting communications links in a satellite system. A quality parameter of a communications link is continuously monitored, wherein the link provides satellite-based packet data service to a user terminal. The method further provides for reducing a short-term sensitivity of the quality parameter such that a modified quality parameter results. An operating parameter of the link is adapted based on the modified quality parameter. By adapting the operating parameter, transmission throughput can be optimized according to the unique channel environment of each user without sacrificing reliability.
