    摘要: A method of wireless communication by a user equipment, UE, and a base station are described. The method performed by the UE comprises transmitting, to a base station, a MSG1 (504) of a random access channel, RACH, procedure over a first bandwidth of a system bandwidth that is less than the system bandwidth, receiving, from the base station after transmitting the MSG1 (504), a MSG2 (506) of the RACH procedure over the first bandwidth, receiving, from the base station after transmitting the MSG1 (504) and receiving the MSG2 (506), a MSG4 of the RACH procedure that indicates one or more resources for one or more beam reference signals, BRSs (510, 518), associated with a second bandwidth of the system bandwidth, receiving the one or more BRSs (510, 518) over one or more portions of the second bandwidth, the one or more portions of the second bandwidth being different than the first bandwidth, performing beam quality measurements of the one or more BRSs (510, 518) in the one or more portions of the second bandwidth and transmitting, to the base station, feedback based on the beam quality measurements of the one or more BRSs (510, 518) and receiving, from the base station, a physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH (520), over the second bandwidth.

    摘要: A communication satellite (1) according to the present invention includes user beam antennas (11-1, 11-2) capable of forming user beams and feeder beam antennas (24-1 to 24-3) capable of forming feeder link beams. The communication satellite includes demultiplexing units (15-1, 15-2) that divide a reception signal into up-user-link signals, multiplexing units (20-1 to 20-3) that multiplex input signals and output the signals to feeder beam antennas (24-1 to 24-3), and a switch (18) that duplicates an up-user-link signal on the basis of information determined for each of the up-user link signals and indicating whether the user link signal is duplicated, generates a duplicated signal, and outputs the duplicated signal and the up-user-link signal to the multiplexing units (20-1 to 20-3) corresponding to second beams respectively allocated to the duplicated signal and the up-user-link signal.

    摘要: A method and system are presented for operating a multibeam satellite system involving positioning a plurality of service beams associated with a plurality of service beam coverage areas and positioning a feeder beam associated with a feeder beam coverage area. The feeder beam coverage area is at a proximity to at least one service beam coverage area. The feeder beam coverage area includes at least one gateway. Each of the plurality of service beam coverage areas uses a color. The at least near service beam coverage area uses at least one color from the plurality of colors. The feeder beam uses at least one color, excluding the at least one color used by the at least one near service beam coverage area.

    摘要: Conventional spot beam satellites receive return uplink beam signals that each correspond to a separate and unique return downlink beam. An embodiment of the invention allows flexible coverage areas by selectively attenuating and combining multiple return uplink beam signals and transmitting them on a single beam to a gateway terminal. This allows uplink capacity to be dynamically allocated amongst different uplink signals. Offered load in different beams can be predicted and used to set the attenuation values appropriately and the attenuation values may also be controlled remotely.
