Abstract:
One example includes an ACM transceiver system. An ACM transceiver system includes an ACM controller configured to receive a reported signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) via each of a plurality of return signals corresponding to a respective plurality of transmit signals that were each sequentially previously transmitted from the ACM transceiver system in a respective modulation and coding scheme (MODCOD). The reported SNR via a given one of the plurality of return signals corresponds to the respective one of the plurality of transmit signals. The ACM controller continuously generates an adaptive SNR threshold associated with each of the plurality of MODCODS based on the reported SNR delivered by the received plurality of return signals, and compares the reported SNR with the adaptive SNR threshold of each of the plurality of MODCODS to select one of the plurality of MODCODS for transmission of a next transmit signal.

Claim (Index 10):
A method for transmitting signals in an adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) transmission system, the method comprising:\n transmitting a first transmit signal in a first modulation and coding scheme (MODCOD) of a plurality of MODCODS; receiving a first return signal corresponding to the first transmit signal; receiving a reported signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) corresponding to the first transmit signal via the first return signal; comparing the reported SNR with a plurality of adaptive SNR thresholds in an adaptive ACM table, each of the plurality of adaptive SNR thresholds being associated with a respective one of the plurality of MODCODS, to determine one of the plurality of MODCODS for transmission of a second transmit signal; transmitting the second transmit signal via the determined one of the plurality of MODCODS; receiving a second return signal corresponding to the second transmit signal; and updating the adaptive ACM table based on the reported SNR delivered by the second return signal.
