摘要： Novel satellite communications systems, methods, and related devices are described. In one set of embodiments, available frequency channels may be dynamically assigned to particular beams of a multi-beam satellite system. The frequency assignment may be based on the amount of frequency allocated to particular beams of the multi-beam satellite system, utilizing a novel frequency selection method employing frequency reuse constraints. There may be a number of distinct frequency channels that are each assigned to one or more different beams. Such a system may be made up of a satellite in communication with terminals (e.g., user terminals or gateways). The satellite may receive and compile bandwidth request data from the terminals, and use this information in frequency assignment.

摘要： Systems, methods, and devices for novel error detection and retransmission processes are described. These processes may be implemented on intermediate communication links between two end terminals, wherein the intermediate links are via satellite. Error control mechanisms to detect and retransmit lost or corrupted frames may be implemented at the network layer, or between the network and data link layers. Processes for discovering error control protocol-aware terminals are described. Features of these error control processes may include a configurable delay limit, tailored to traffic type or class.

摘要： Satellite communications systems, methods, and related devices are described. In one embodiment, a satellite communications system is configured to dynamically allocate bandwidth and frequencies among different beams. Bandwidth request data may be received and compiled from the terminals. The satellite may be configured with different beam coverage areas, and may dynamically allocate bandwidth and particular frequency channels to different beam coverage areas based on the requests. In each of a series of one or more epochs, and according to the bandwidth requests, there may be allocations among carrier groups, traffic classes, and particular terminals. The setup of slot structure and selection of modes for particular terminals is also addressed.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention is an improved feedback amplifier circuit having a variable closed loop gain which avoids including switching elements in its feedback network and maintains a constant output voltage window for an input signal having a wide dynamic range. That is, the switching elements are not on the active feedback path (e.g., they are isolated from the active feedback path). In this manner, the gain of the amplifier circuit may be determined only by the feedback resistance which can be more easily controlled through the use of precision resistors. Additionally, by removing the switches from the feedback network, the parasitics associated with each switch may also be removed from the feedback path of the amplifier circuit. Accordingly, the bandwidth of the feedback amplifier circuit can be controlled more effectively. Specifically, the present embodiment avoids locating the switching functionality in the feedback network by changing the output stage of the feedback amplifier circuit. In other words, the switching functionality of the present embodiment is located within the output stage of the feedback amplifier circuit. Furthermore, it is appreciated that the present embodiment provides a way to isolate the unused feedback path of the feedback amplifier circuit which has a variable closed loop gain.

摘要： Systems, methods, devices, and processors are described for quality of service (QoS) packet scheduling in satellite communications systems. A packet received at the QoS packet scheduler may be assigned a virtual departure time utilizing novel self-clocked fair queuing techniques. The virtual departure time for a packet assigned to a queue may depend on a different weight assigned to the queues. Queues may be treated as low latency queues in some cases and may be provided with committed information rates in other cases. Low latency queues may be assigned weights equal to infinity, or the reciprocal of the weight equal to zero. Queues with committed information rates may assign different weights to packets depending on whether the rate that packets are received exceeds the committed information rate. Packets may then be scheduled based on their virtual departure time order.
