Methods are presented herein for estimating at least a frequency (offset) for a block of received symbols using two or more estimation stages. These methods may allow reducing the computational complexity of a frequency estimator while maintaining large frequency offset coverage and high frequency estimation accuracy. Also are presented satellite communication systems employing any of burst transmission and continuous transmission. Said systems may be configured to estimate at least a frequency (offset) for any of a received burst or a block of received symbols using two or more estimation stages. In some embodiments, said burst or said block of symbols may include a Unique Word located at or about the center of the block of symbols.

Method and apparatus for dynamically optimizing the transmission level of each remote terminal in a satellite-based communication network. Each remote terminal maintains quasi-error-free communication at the highest efficiency level available under changing link conditions and network configurations, without requiring the reservation of substantial power margins, which results in a much more efficient satellite network.

In a satellite-based communication network comprised of a central hub and plurality of remote terminals configured to transmit data to and receive data from the central hub in accordance with EN 301 790 (DVB-RCS), and where one or more of these remote terminals may be configured to include an additional receiver module configured to receive MF-TDMA transmission of other remote terminals, a mesh receiver and methods for coupling the mesh receiver with the host remote terminal. In addition, described herein are methods for synchronizing the mesh receiver on the network's timing and frequency and for utilizing the available link power for achieving efficient connectivity.

Modern digital signals include framing. A known sequence of transmission symbols (Unique Word (UW)) included in the transmitted signal may be used by a receiver for framing synchronization. A receiver configured to receive such a signal may be configured to detect the UW even when the signal is received with some frequency uncertainty (e.g. offset or error). A method is presented for fast acquisition of symbol and/or frame timing of a signal, including in the presence of frequency uncertainty. In some embodiments, the presented method may be used for determining a frequency offset of the received signal and a location of a unique word (UW) within a frame of the received signal, wherein said determining is based on a two-dimensional search map.

In a satellite communication system, comprising a hub and a plurality of heterogeneous terminals, the hub may split a bandwidth segment designated for a forward channel into at least two carriers, wherein some of the terminals may listen on a first carrier and some other terminals may listen on the at least second carrier. In this system, the hub may re-arrange the split of the bandwidth segment between the various carriers populating it in real-time or substantially in real-time, while the carriers are actively transmitted, and without causing loss of service and/or loss of data to terminals listening on those carriers. The terminals may be configured to track the carriers as they are re-arranged and to maintain seamless service to the end user throughout the re-arrangement process.

This invention presents methods for transmitting and receiving data via a satellite and satellite communication systems thereof. A transmitted signal may include a stream of transmission blocks, whereas each transmission block may differ from a previous transmission block by any of a spreading characteristic, an error correction code-rate characteristic and a modulation characteristic. In addition, any of the spreading, error correction code-rate and modulation characteristics may be changed in accordance with momentary reception conditions at a receiving station.
