Abstract

The resource sharing experiment (RSE) of the DAVID (DAta and Video Interactive Distribution) multiexperiment mission of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) is described. The experiment envisages adaptively varying the robustness of signals down-transmitted, to a set (16) of Earth terminals by acting on their coding and spreading. During the DAVID satellite passes, each terminal determines autonomously its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and transmits it to a central station which, by using this information, works out the parameters for the global system optimization and indicates, in real time, to the terminals which code and despreading factor they must utilize to receive the part of the signal addressed to them.
