Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a software defined radio for a mobile network system including a plurality of satellite transponders, each satellite transponder operating using single channel per carrier (SCPC) transmission to allocate an entire bandwidth of a given frequency channel of a plurality of channels to the network management system, at least one ground station in communication with the plurality of satellite transponders, the at least one ground station communicating on at least one of the plurality of channels, using the plurality of satellite transponders, to a remote host, and a management server, that sets a bandwidth available for a particular channel of the plurality of channels at a predetermined maximum, regularly generating a quality of experience metric for the particular channel of the plurality of channels, and dynamically adjusts the bandwidth allocated to the particular channel of the plurality of channels based upon the quality of experience metric.
