SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTING A TRANSMISSION RATE AND CODING SCHEME FOR USE IN A SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A method for selecting a transmission rate and coding scheme for transmittin g data packets from a remote terminal to a hub includes performing a ranging proces s between the hub and remote terminal. The ranging process may be repeated for each of a number of different transmission rates and coding schemes. The remote terminal may the n select the appropriate transmission rate and coding scheme based on the ranging.
