Method and system for adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) for supporting mesh network connectivity for multipoint networks

摘要

A method of provisioning a communications link between remote terminals within a hub-spoke network comprising receiving, by a first remote terminal, information about a second remote terminal from a hub, selecting, by the first remote terminal, a modulation factor, coding rate, symbol rate, center frequency, and power level based on the information received about the second remote terminal, transmitting, by the first remote terminal, a signal using at least one of the selected modulation factor, coding rate, symbol rate, center frequency, and power level, to the second remote terminal such that a communications link is created, and adjusting the modulation factor, coding rate, symbol rate, center frequency, or power level of the transmitted signal such that performance of the link is increased while maintaining a presence of the link.

1. A method of provisioning a communications link between remote terminals within a hub-spoke network, the method comprising:
receiving, by a first remote terminal, information about a second remote terminal from a hub; selecting, by the first remote terminal, a modulation factor, coding rate, symbol rate, center frequency, and power level based on the information received about the second remote terminal; transmitting, by the first remote terminal, a signal using at least one of the selected modulation factor, coding rate, symbol rate, center frequency, and power level, to the second remote terminal such that a communications link is created; and adjusting at least one of the symbol rate and center frequency of the transmitted signal such that performance of the link is increased while maintaining a presence of the link; wherein signals sent by a hub to the remote terminals are sent through a common outbound channel and signals sent by the remote terminals to the hub are sent through one or more single channel per carrier (SCPC) channels.
