摘要:
Radiation by an ancillary terrestrial network, and/or satellite radiotelephones (120a, 120b) that communicate therewith are monitored and controlled, to reduce and preferably prevent intra-system interference and/or interference with other satellite radiotelephone systems. In particular, a satellite radiotelephone system includes a space-based component (110) that is configured to wirelessly communicate with first radiotelephones in a satellite footprint over a satellite radiotelephone frequency band (fD, fU), and an ancillary terrestrial network that is configured to wirelessly communicate with second radiotelephones in the satellite footprint over at least some of the satellite radiotelephone frequency band (f'D, f'U), to thereby terrestrially reuse the at least some of the satellite radiotelephone frequency band.
摘要:
Satellite radiotelephone system includes a space-based component (110), an ancillary terrestrial network, a monitor and a controller. The space-based component is configured to wirelessly communicate with radiotelephones (120a, 120b) in a satellite footprint over a satellite radiotelephone frequency band (fD, fU). The satellite footprint is divided into satellite cells in which subsets of the satellite radiotelephone frequency band are spatially reused in a spatial reuse pattern. The ancillary terrestrial network is configured to wirelessly communicate with radiotelephones in the satellite footprint over at least some of the satellite radiotelephone frequency band, to thereby terrestrially reuse the at least some of the satellite radiotelephone frequency band.
摘要:
A satellite radiotelephone frequency (fU,fD) can be reused terrestrially by an ancillary terrestrial network (Fig.1) even within the same satellite cell, using interference cancellation techniques. Moreover, the ancillary network can use a modified range of satellite band forward link frequencies (f'D) for transmission, to reduce interference with out-of-band receivers. A modified range of satellite band forward link frequencies that is used by the ancillary terrestrial network can include only a subset of the standard satellite band forward link frequencies to provide a guard band, can include power levels that monotonically decrease as a function of increasing frequency and/or can include two or more contiguous slots per frame that are left unoccupied and/or are transmitted at reduced maximum power. Time division duplex operation of the ancillary terrestrial network may also be provided over at least a portion of satellite band return frequencies.
摘要:
Wireless communications are transmitted from at least two radioterminals to a base station co-channel over a return link using a return link alphabet. Wireless communications are also transmitted from the base station to the at least two radioterminals over a forward link using a forward link alphabet that has more symbols than the return link alphabet. The co-channel signals are deciphered at the receiver, while the radioterminals can use a smaller return link alphabet, which can reduce the power dissipation at the radioterminals.
摘要:
Information content is nonidentically mapped between service link carriers (130) and feeder link carriers (140) at a cellular satellite (100). A reduced number of satellite feeder link carriers compared to the number of satellite service link carriers and/or a reduced total bandwidth of the satellite feeder link carriers compared to the satellite service link carriers thereby may be obtained.
