Abstract
An illustrated embodiment disclosed herein is a method including receiving, by an endpoint and from a satellite, a downlink (DL) frame including a reduced power portion of the DL frame, measuring, by the endpoint, a signal strength of the reduced power portion of the DL frame, selecting, by the endpoint, an uplink (UL) spreading factor (SF) and a UL transmit (Tx) backoff associated with a target UL Tx power at which to send a UL frame, measuring, by the endpoint, a first rise-over-thermal, sending, by the endpoint and to the satellite, the UL frame including at least one of the UL SF or the first rise-over-thermal, receiving, by the endpoint and from the satellite, a DL physical data unit (PDU) modulated by a DL SF selected by the satellite, and demodulating, by the endpoint, the DL PDU simultaneously at a plurality of SFs.
