Abstract
A method for determining a maximum symbol rate of a return communication link includes: assigning transmission opportunities at a current symbol rate equal to a first symbol rate to the user terminal; receiving a plurality of messages during the assigned transmission opportunities at the current symbol rate from the user terminal; first determining if a number of messages incorrectly received is less than a threshold number of incorrect messages and second determining if a power amplifier of the user terminal is operating in a linear region; if the number of messages incorrectly received is less than the threshold number and if the power amplifier is operating in the linear region, assigning a channel at the current symbol rate to the user terminal as a home channel for the user terminal; and otherwise, repeating at an updated current symbol rate.
