Abstract
In a dynamic communication system (90) wherein communication parameters vary appreciably between transmissions, mobile subscriber units (200) are susceptible to link blockages resulting in a loss of successive feedback instructing subscriber units (200) of adjustments to communication parameters to be employed in a subsequent transmission on a communication link (105). When a mobile subscriber unit (200) is airborne, an outage may occur from a control surface blockage during maneuvering. Aircraft avionics (290) supplies acceleration data representing aircraft movement for use in predicting subsequent communication parameters. A method and system are employed to predict subsequent communication parameters and employ these predictions during link blockages in an attempt to reestablish communications and upon the removal of a link blockage, a mobile subscriber unit (200) employs the predicted communication parameters to resume communications.
