Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An earth station transmitter device arranged for generating a signal to be transmitted to an earth station receiver device of a satellite communication system, said earth station transmitter device comprising:
shaping encapsulation means for
shaping downlink data traffic based on an estimate of a total bit rate available for said downlink data traffic and
encapsulating said downlink data traffic based on a first modulation and coding decodable by an earth station receiver device,
said shaping encapsulation means arranged to output downlink baseband frames,
further encapsulation means arranged to receive said downlink baseband frames and to generate uplink baseband frames by segmenting said downlink baseband frames based on a second modulation and coding decodable by a satellite receiver device,
encoding and modulation means for converting said uplink baseband frames into an uplink transmission signal using said second modulation and coding decodable by said satellite receiver device.
