Abstract

The conventional wireless communication systems are designed to overcome the worst-case channel, using the huge amount of redundant bits to assure communications performance and quality of services. Those systems cannot achieve the optimum spectrum and power efficiency. This paper presents an adaptive coding and modulation scheme used in the user terminals of the third-generation satellite communication system. A three-state photogrammetric channel estimation method is introduced for tracing the variations of large-scale environments. The mobile user terminal dynamically switches the suitable coding and modulation schemes according to the result of photogrammetric channel estimator in order to maximize the power efficiency and data throughput. The real measurement data were used to validate our proposed method. The results show that the proposed method not only reduces the system complexity, but also mitigates the power control requirements and increases the data throughput for the land mobile satellite personal communication systems.
