Neural network implementation of a fade countermeasure controller for a VSAT link
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In this paper, an algorithm and its practical implementation to activate adaptive modulation as a fade countermeasure (FCM) is presented. Characteristics of the algorithm are derived from the propagation studies and the algorithm uses a simple four parameter model. A neural network architecture was used to implement the decision making block of the controller. The algorithm has been implemented on a fixed point DSP. An experimental set‐up with an emulated K a ‐band satellite link and a terrestrial return path connection has been used with previously recorded propagation data for experimental verification and performance analysis. Performance of the implemented FCM system is compared with that of fixed, non‐adaptive systems. Over concatenated rain events, the adaptive system yields better throughput at or below a given BER than any fixed mode system and only marginally worse BER availability than the most robust scheme in the system. The FCM is thus essential if throughput is of importance as well as availability. The added complexity of the FCM system is not great by contemporary technology standards and is, in authors' opinion, well worth the investment. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
