Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for calibrating a threshold for selecting a transmission format, from a plurality of transmission formats, in order to exchange data packets over a radio-frequency propagation channel, referred to as the “channel” (L 1 , L 2 , L 3 ) between a transmitting device and a receiving device of a satellite telecommunications system, includes: calculating a calibration table for the threshold, which associates transmission statistics, representative of an amount of estimated errors for a plurality of data packets received by the receiving device, with a plurality of values of the instantaneous channel quality; and updating the threshold, which, according to the calibration table, is a value of the instantaneous channel quality enabling a predefined value of the transmission statistics to be provided. A threshold calibration module, which can be included in a terrestrial terminal ( 2 ), and/or a satellite ( 3 ), and/or, more generally, in a satellite telecommunications system, is also described.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method, carried out by one or both of a transmitting device and a receiving device, for updating a threshold used for selecting a transmission format from a plurality of transmission formats associated with said threshold, a selected transmission format to be used by a transmitting device of a satellite telecommunications system to transmit data packets to the receiving device over a radio-frequency propagation channel, the transmission format associa…
