media parameters

When conditions are bad, Link 22 can use more robust media parameters and maintain communication, although at a lower data rate than usual.

When conditions are good, Link 22 can optimize the media parameters to maximize its data throughput.

For example, specific media parameters were designed to operate in high latitudes, which present some of the worst-case conditions, and where Link 11 rarely operates.

Media parameters can be modified by the NMU in an attempt to increase the available capacity of the network.
