Method and system for modeling a network using historical weather information and operation with adaptive coding and modulation (ACM)
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically modeling performance of a communications network, the method comprising:
- modeling a communications network using a processor by performing a link budget analysis (LBA) for a proposed configuration of the communications network, the communications network comprising at least one transmitter, at least one satellite repeating relay, and at least one remote receiver;
determining, by the processor, link performance of a link within the communications network by applying historical environmental data to the model;
adjusting, by the processor, one or more network configuration parameters other than a transmit power based on the determined link performance to improve performance of the modeled communications network while substantially maintaining a committed information rate; and
determining, by the processor, one or more final network configuration parameters by iteratively performing the LBA and adjusting the one or more network configuration parameters based on the determined link performance and historical environmental data.

Abstract
A method of dynamically modeling performance of a communications network that may involve modeling a communications network using a processor by performing a link budget analysis (LBA) for a proposed configuration of the communications network with at least one transmitter, at least one satellite repeating relay, and at least one remote receiver, determining link performance of the communications network by applying historical environmental data to the model, adjusting one or more network configuration parameters based on the determined link performance to improve performance of the modeled communications network, and determining one or more final network configuration parameters by iteratively performing the LBA and adjusting the one or more network configuration parameters based on the determined link performance and historical environmental data.
