  • Method and system for performing multi-layer, multi-dimensional link budget analysis (LBA) using real-time network, weather, satellite ephemeras and ionospheric information
    Patent number: 8914536
    Abstract: Methods of dynamically modeling performance of a communications network that may include modeling a communications network using a processor by performing a link budget analysis (LBA) for a configuration of the communications network, receiving a plurality of layers of real-time information about the communications network, iteratively performing additional LBAs using one or more of the layers of real-time information from among the plurality of layers of real-time information, multi-dimensionally co-modeling a matrix comprising results of the iteratively performed additional LBAs, and determining one or more final communications network configuration parameters based on the multi-dimensionally co-modeled matrix.

  • Method and System for Optimizing Performance with Hitless Switching for Fixed Symbol Rate Carriers Using Closed-Loop Power Control while Maintaining Power Equivalent Bandwidth (PEB)
    Publication number: 20120213174
    Abstract: A method of controlling bandwidth allocation over a communications link comprising detecting, by a processor, a change in a power level of a composite signal transmitted by a transmitter, the composite signal comprising a plurality of carrier signals and having a constant center frequency and spectral allocation, adjusting at least one of a modulation factor and a forward error correction (FEC) rate of one or more of the plurality of carrier signals using a modulator, in response to the change in power level to maintain a predetermined data rate and spectral allocation of the composite signal, and maintaining, by the modulator, an uninterrupted communications link between the transmitter and a remote receiver while the at least one of the modulation factor and the FEC rate is adjusted.
