ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling forward error correction of a VSAT earth station is disclosed. A hub earth station communicating with the VSAT earth station transmits digital data representing a propagation condition measured at the hub earth station. The VSAT earth station computes an estimated inroute fade from the transmitted information, as well as from the VSAT demodulator's estimate of propagation condition. When the total inroute fade is below a selected margin, a higher FEC encoding rate is selected for the VSAT transmitter in which to transmit its data packets to the hub earth station. As the estimated inroute fade exceeds a high FEC rain margin, a lower rate of FEC encoding is employed at the VSAT earth station. By permitting a higher FEC encoding rate, digital throughput is increased between the VSAT earth station and the hub station.
