Adaptive Coding and Modulation

1) Adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) allows satellite systems to dynamically change modulation schemes based on changing channel conditions to optimize throughput. 2) ACM requires knowledge of current channel SNR, which can come from open loop weather reports or closed loop feedback from receivers, and the ability to support multiple waveforms operating at different SNR levels. 3) The DVB-S2 standard implements ACM and other improvements like generalized stream encapsulation and more efficient error correction coding compared to the earlier DVB-S standard, allowing it to better adapt to varying channel conditions.

Variations in SNR
Channel Fading

Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM)
Link Adaption or Dynamic Coding
Modulation
Functionality
Observes change in SNR of channel
Sends the Code and Modulation Information (CMI) in
the header of a packet
Changes modulation scheme to optimize throughput
Dynamically changes throughput of SDR system

Requirements for ACM
1. Current channel conditions must be known
with reasonable accuracy
Open Loop Information
Weather Reports, GPS
Closed Loop (Feedback) Information
Receiver send SNR Measurements to Transmitter
Requires a bidirectional link
Requirements for ACM
2. Channel conditions must remain constant or
change slowly relative to the adaption rate
Two Categories of Channel Fading Impairments
Fast Channel Fading (ex: Multi-Path)
Slow Channel Fading (ex: Shadow Fading)
Goal is to adjust SNR update rates so that:
SNR updates slow enough to average fast fading effects
SNR updates fast enough to track slow fading effects


Requirements for ACM
3. The radio must
support multiple
waveforms that
operate closer to
capacity at
different SNRs


DVB S2
Digital Video Broadcasting Second Gen.
Implemented to replace DVB-S (end users) and
DVB-DSNG (Digital Sattelite News Gathering)
Current or Converting Providers
DirecTV (U.S.)
Dish Network (U.S.)
DVB-S vs. DVB-S2
GSE: Allows DVB to carry
packet-oriented protocols
(IPv4, IPv6, VLAN, etc)
FEC: Low Density Parity
Check concatenated with a
BCH (class of cyclic error
correcting code)
35% Roll off to 20% Roll off
