  • Abstract
    This article proposes systematic approaches to minimize severe channel degradation. Detection of channel condition is performed by means of two continuous ARQ NAK counting schemes. Stop-and-wait ARQ non-NAK counting is used for timed complete blockage. A single (31,21,5) code is designed for all the ARQ systems proposed. After the blockage state of a transmission channel is determined, satellite link parameter trade-offs and other specific remedy alternatives are recommended to enhance channel performance. System performance criteria are derived with different Earth station capabilities.
