Abstract: A terrestrial receiver recovers universal services in a satellite radio transmission system including discrete signal sources producing overlapping spot beam loci within a coverage area, wherein the signals forming the beams each contain repeating time aligned universal services having a master synchronizing frame, at least one common channel, and at least one spot specific channel with differing frequency and/or polarization. The receiver switches among antenna elements. A portion of antenna elements receive a transmitted signal, including a plurality of sub-channels that are transmitted in predetermined time intervals. A switching device switches among single antenna elements to receive the transmitted signal. A controller commands the switching device to select each of the antenna elements separately in predetermined periods of time based upon the predetermined time intervals of each of the master synchronizing frames. A power level of the transmitted signal is determined during the predetermined time intervals.

Abstract: A communication system includes a satellite and a ground station. The satellite is configured to preferentially receive signals from each of a plurality of sub-regions within a region of communication of the satellite. The ground station is configured to determine a location of the ground station, determine in which of the sub-regions that the ground station resides based on the location, and transmit a signal to the satellite during a time-interval assigned to the sub-region. The ground stations time-multiplex the transmission of signals from various ground stations to the satellite based on which sub-region of the larger region (e.g. the continental United States or CONUS) that the ground station resides. The time multiplexing is such that ground stations in one region are not transmitting signals to the satellite during the same time interval as ground stations in adjacent sub-regions.
