摘要:
In a method of handing off traffic in a low orbit satellite communication system serving terminals, a terminal being connected to a terrestrial communication network by means of a connection station, handing off of the satellite-terminal and satellite-connection station links is possible only within a particular area. The decision to hand off the traffic is based on deterioration of the quality of service and of the radio environment for a group of terminals of said area. The system for implementing this method includes transmit/receive terminals and terrestrial connection stations.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a communications system between low-orbit satellites and terminals, in which the beams (12) of each service area (14) are illuminated according to a beam-hopping spatial scanning. For each satellite and for each terminal transmission and reception are separated in time and synchronized. Time-division duplex is used. Applicable especially to the field of space telecommunications.
