Abstract: A space-based network for a satellite radiotelephone system includes at least one receive-only satellite and at least one transmit satellite. The transmit satellite can be a transmit-only satellite or a transmit and receive satellite. The receive-only satellite(s) are configured to receive wireless communications from a radiotelephone at a location over a satellite frequency band. The transmit satellite(s) are configured to transmit wireless communications to the radiotelephone at the location over the satellite frequency band. By providing at least one receive-only satellite and at least one transmit satellite, space-based networks can offer a significant link margin, without the need to undesirably burden the radiotelephones themselves to achieve this link margin.

Abstract: Methods of compensating for interference in communications in a satellite communications system are provided. At a first radioterminal, a measure of an error in communications received through a first service down-link from a satellite is generated. A communications waveform is identified which causes interference to communications through the first service down-link to the first radioterminal when it is transmitted to a second radioterminal at a frequency that is substantially the same as a frequency of the first service down-link. The measure of the error and a measure of the interfering communications waveform are processed to obtain at least one interference compensation value. The at least one interference compensation value is combined with a waveform that is to be transmitted to the first radioterminal to obtain an interference compensated waveform. The interference compensated waveform is transmitted to the first radioterminal through the first service down-link.

Abstract: The capacity of a terrestrial wireless communications system that uses a terrestrial frequency band for communications with wireless terminals is expanded by utilizing a satellite frequency band for terrestrially receiving terrestrial communications from the wireless terminals. Since the wireless terminals are configured to transmit communications to a space-based component such as a satellite via a satellite frequency band, these transmissions also may be picked up (received) terrestrially. Thus, terrestrial base stations can be equipped with satellite frequency band receivers that can receive communications from the wireless terminals over a satellite frequency band. By using the satellite frequency band receiver in a terrestrial base station, additional capacity and/or quality of service may be provided for a terrestrial and/or satellite communications system.

Abstract: A signal power control loop is provided for a link between a terrestrial station and a terminal when the terminal and a satellite are linked via the terrestrial station. The signal power control loop may control transmitted signal power of the terminal and/or the terrestrial station.
