PROPOSALS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ALGORITHM FOR SELECTING AN OPERATING MODE IN A RADIO LINK FORMED BY SMALL - SIZED TROPOSPHERIC COMMUNICATION STATIONS
The choice of the optimal mode of operation for radio transmission facilities in a radio link is an important task in terms of ensuring the necessary quality and reliability of communication. The choice of the operating mode can be carried out on the basis of various criteria, however, it is obvious that the more criteria on the basis of which the choice is made, the more accurate the choice. The article discusses a variant of implementation in a small - sized tropospheric communication station of a «operating mode controller» (OMC) device, which provides the choice of an operating mode depending on the change in the state of the communication channel. It is known that changes in the state of the tropospheric communication channel are of a random nature, therefore, the criteria based on which the choice of the operating mode in the OMC is made are the values of the current signal - tonoise ratio and the probability of erroneous reception.
