Capacity Versus Bit Error Rate Trade-Off in the DVB-S2 Forward Link

The paper presents an approach to optimize the use of satellite capacity in DVB-S2 forward links. By reducing the so-called safety margins, in the adaptive coding and modulation technique, it is possible to increase the spectral efficiency at expenses of an increased BER on the transmission. The wor...
