METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MODEL TCP THROUGHPUT, ASSESS POWER CONTROL MEASURES, AND COMPENSATE FOR FADING AND PATH LOSS, FOR HIGHLY MOBILE BOADBAND SYSTEMS

摘要

A method and system for determining an optimal throughput of a communications channel in a highly mobile wireless environment, which includes selecting power control measures (S41), determining a throughput of the communications channel for each of the selected power control measure (S42), wherein the throughput model is based on a probability of a packet error averaged over a packet fade, and wherein the probability of the packet error averaged over the packet fade is a function of the selected power control measure (S42), and determining the optimal throughput as a maximum one of the throughputs (S44) determined for each of the selected power control measures (S42).
