Abstract :
An investigation is presented into the application of link adaptation, the alteration of channel coding depending on the channel quality, to speech transmission in terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA) systems. A comparison is made of the performance of the technique to that obtained under quasi-synchronous operation which is also proposed for TETRA range extension
