Abstract:
1. A method of provisioning a communications link between remote terminals within a hub-spoke network, the method comprising: receiving, by a first remote terminal, information about a second remote terminal from a hub; selecting, by the first remote terminal, a modulation factor, coding rate, symbol rate, center frequency, and power level based on the information received about the second remote terminal; transmitting, by the first remote terminal, a signal using at least one of the selected modulation factor, coding rate, symbol rate, center frequency, and power level, to the second remote terminal such that a communications link is created; and adjusting at least one of the symbol rate and center frequency of the transmitted signal such that performance of the link is increased while maintaining a presence of the link; wherein signals sent by a hub to the remote terminals are sent through a common outbound channel and signals sent by the remote terminals to the hub are sent through one or more single channel per carrier (SCPC) channels.
