Abstract

In addition to the rapid geometric change of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, the earth-to-space channel suffers from various attenuations that affect the communication link. To overcome this challenge, the link adaptation technique emerges as a key solution to optimize the transmission performance of LEO satellites, especially the data throughput. The existing contributions in the literature remain scattered across the research board, and a comprehensive survey of this research area still lacks at this stage. The present survey examines various link adaptation methods, mainly variable coding and modulation, adaptive coding and modulation, and hybrid methods using artificial intelligence. In addition, this study explains how this technique leverages a set of recommended standards and cost-effective technologies, such as software-defined radio (SDR) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), to fine-tune transmission strategies. Lastly, the paper provides a comparative study of the current research on this field and sheds light on future directions, where the need for higher data throughput makes emerging learning-based techniques and new experimental standards a necessity.
