Radio resource management for DVB-RCS satellite systems using adaptive coding and modulation at Ka band

This paper presents a strategy for dynamic management of radio resources at the MAC layer for a broadband interactive DVB-RCS satellite system using adaptive coding and modulation at Ka band. The work highlights the advantages of a dynamic radio resource management compared to a static one in terms of improvement in system capacity and QoS. Suitable system scenario and hypotheses are devised to substantiate the basic claim. (5 pages)
