摘要： A satellite is used to route push-to-send messages among terrestrial base stations. Reduced push-to-send delays thereby may be provided, when a source push-to-send radioterminal is widely separated from a destination push-to-send radioterminal. Satellite routing only may be used when the source push-to-send radioterminal and the destination push-to-send radioterminal are not communicating with a single terrestrial base station or with a group of terrestrial base stations that are proximate one another. A destination base station that is communicating with the destination push-to-send radioterminal may be determined at the satellite, at a satellite gateway and/or at a central server.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A hybrid satellite communications system provides communications, particularly Internet access, to computer users. The hybrid satellite communications system includes a satellite system and a terrestrial communications system. The satellite system includes two transceivers. The first transceiver receives and transmits a first set of signals received from the terrestrial communications system to a plurality of user units. In reverse fashion, the satellite systems second transceiver receives a second set of signals in a second frequency band from the user units and transmits those signals back to the terrestrial communications system. The first set of signals (downlink signals) are of much higher frequency than the second set of signals (uplink signals). Preferably, the first set of signals are relayed by a Direct Broadcast System (DBS) satellite in a frequency band between 12.2 GHz and 12.9 GHz, while the second set of signals are relayed by a Mobile Satellite System (MSS) satellite operating between 1.0 GHz and 3.0 Ghz, or relayed by a terrestrial node operating between 0.8 and 2.0 Ghz. The differences in frequency between the first set of signals and second set of signals is considered optimal for the transmission and receipt of communications between a computer user with the Internet. Moreover, the present invention is capable of using the present communications infrastructures dedicated to the satellite transmission of television via DBS satellites, satellite cellular communications via MSS satellites, and radio communications via terrestrial cellular systems.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Systems and methods for intelligent packet repetition in mobile satellite service links to overcome channel blockages. One example method includes transmitting and receiving packetized wireless communications between first and second communications devices via a bidirectional wireless link. The method includes receiving, by a first communications device from a second communications device, feedback information including an indication of a blockage in the communication channel, the indication including information indicating the presence and extent of the blockage, wherein the feedback does not include status indications for individual received packets. The method includes, responsive to receiving the indication of a blockage in the communication channel, determining a packet repeat value based on the feedback information, wherein the packet repeat value is greater than one. The method includes modifying a transmit signal of the bidirectional wireless link to repeat transmitted packets based on the packet repeat value and transmitting the downlink signal. The decision to turn on packet repetition, the number of repeats, may also be informed by the geographic location of the receiver.
