Abstract:
1. A device for adapting modulation and encoding schemes to be applied to data intended to be broadcast by way of a dedicated carrier over a so-called forward channel of a radio communication network to radio communication terminals connected to at least that radio communication network, comprising: at least one processor configured to adapt at least one modulation and encoding scheme to be applied to data intended to be broadcast by way of said dedicated carrier, based on actual radio broadcast conditions between said radio communication network and radio terminals which are recipients of said data to be broadcast; wherein said at least one processor is configured to determine said actual radio broadcast conditions based on measurements transmitted by at least some of said radio terminals which are recipients of said data to be broadcast, and representative of the quality of at least one radio reception channel of the radio terminals which are recipients of said data to be broadcast and wherein at least some of said measurements are radio reception channel quality indicators.
