Abstract:
1. A method of managing the operation of a telecom system according to telecom environment conditions at run-time, the telecom system communicating across one or more particular channels and comprising at least two of an application layer, a middleware layer, a transport layer, a network layer, a data link layer, and a physical layer, the method comprising: accessing a plurality of configuration points that have been determined with a simulation framework using an optimization method applied across at least two layers of the telecom system for simulated telecom environments, wherein the simulation framework is separate from said telecom system; determining a rate constraint at run-time; determining a set of selectable configuration points from the plurality of configuration points based on the rate constraint; determining one or more telecom environment conditions of the propagation channel being used in the telecom environment at run-time based on channel state information of the particular channels; selecting a configuration point from the set of selectable configuration points, wherein the selected configuration point is selected based on said telecom environment conditions, wherein said plurality of predetermined configuration points are given for a discrete set of telecom environment conditions; and operating said telecom system at said selected configuration point by setting control parameters corresponding to said selected configuration point, wherein the telecommunication subsystem continues to communicate across the particular channels.
