Abstract
Coordination of processing satellite uplink transmission and downlink transmission is achieved by an uplink encoder ( ) and uplink modulator ( ) which incorporate an adjustable IF amplifier ( ) at a ground terminal ( ). Information about data traffic transmission errors detected in a satellite ( ) is formed into ATM traffic report cells by a cell former ( ). The traffic report cells are sent on the downlink to the ground terminal. The traffic report cells are used to adjust the power level of the IF amplifier for the particular channel and slot for which errors were detected.
