Abstract
During design and configuration of a SATCOM terminal, a balance has to be struck-between the level of residual noise, the link speed, and the cost of construction and operation of the system. This often means that a higher BER is tolerated on a SATCOM bearer, sometimes less than 10-4. Commercially available protocol implementations often perform well down to a BER of 10-6. The results presented show that a packet service may tolerate a significant further increase in the tolerated BER allowing operation down to 10-4 BER using the proposed satellite efficient link protocol implemented in an experimental WAN Inter-Working Unit (IWU).
