Adaptive link modulation and coding for satellite communication
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240040601A1) outlines a method and system for optimizing satellite communication by dynamically adjusting modulation and coding schemes based on signal-to-noise ratios. The method involves transmitting map grants and modulation schemes to user terminals, receiving uplink data packets, generating signal-to-noise ratios, and adjusting modulation schemes accordingly. The system includes a processor and storage device to execute instructions for transmitting grants, receiving data packets, generating signal-to-noise ratios, and adjusting modulation schemes for efficient communication.
Furthermore, the system described in the patent involves receiving data packets from satellites, computing error vector magnitudes, generating user terminal signal-to-noise ratio feedback, and transmitting feedback to adjust downlink modulation schemes. The system also includes instructions for extracting error vector magnitudes, generating signal-to-noise ratios based on feedback, receiving grants from satellites, and positioning user data in frames for efficient uplink communication. Overall, the patent aims to enhance satellite communication by dynamically adjusting modulation and coding schemes based on signal-to-noise ratios and feedback mechanisms to optimize data transmission efficiency.
