Abstract: Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) is one of the most promising features in many communication systems like WIFI, WiMAX and DVB-S2, in terms of throughput and link utilization. In this way the transmission parameters like power, code rate and modulation symbol are adapted according to the varying link conditions. In this paper we propose a Fuzzy Rule Based System (FRBS) for an efficient ACM in DVB-S2 standard. We have taken it as a constrained optimization problem in which the link reliability and throughput is maximized, while power constraint is satisfied. To do so we have selected the standard transmission Modulations and Codes (MODCODs) optimally using FRBS, according to the DVB-S2 downlink channel state information (CSI) at different sites. The FRBS module can easily be embedded in the ACM management module (AMM) which is a software module. Significance of the proposed scheme over other schemes is shown through simulations.
