Abstract
In a telecommunication network, the power of a first signal transmitted via a satellite by a first station to be received in the form of a second signal by a second station is regulated. At a given time, a value representative of a signal-to-noise ratio of the second signal is predicted for a later time, and, at an intermediate time, the power of the first signal is regulated in the first station as a function of the predicted value. The intermediate time precedes the later time by a time period substantially equal to the propagation time between the first and second stations.
