    摘要: A system and method for timing synchronization of satellite switching instants with gateway switching instants is described. The method includes: generating satellite switching instants according to a Beam Hopping Time Plan (BHTP); generating gateway switching instants according to the BHTP; transmitting a channel addressed to a plurality of beams hopped according to the BHTP based on the gateway switching instants, wherein each of the plurality of beams includes a signal including timing markers and a guard period at an end of the signal for the respective beam; receiving a synchronization information, without a loopback beam, for one of the plurality of beams; determining an adjustment period and an adjusted symbol rate for the generating of the gateway switching instants, based on the synchronization information, for a transmission of the channel such that at least a portion of the guard period in a respective signal for a respective beam aligns with one of the satellite switching instants; and adjusting a timing and a symbol rate of the transmission according to the adjustment period and the adjusted symbol rate, respectively.

    摘要: A method and system for acquiring a time division multiplexed synchronization signal in a satellite communication system is provided. The signal is provided as a series of frames with beacon signals time division multiplexed into at least one time slot of each frame. The beacon signal in each frame comprises a unique word sequence, which is the same in each frame, and a portion of a PN sequence. The entire PN sequence is distributed into a plurality of frames forming a superframe. Initially, the power level of the incoming signal is determined by locating the maximum power received in half time slot intervals. Next a series of frames are correlated against the expected unique word, each at one of a plurality of possible frequencies. The frequency generating the maximum correlation with the unique word is selected. The frequency is fine tuned by comparing the actual arrival time of the unique word in each frame with the estimated arrival time based on the current frequency, and adjusting the frequency accordingly. Also, the start of the superframe is located by correlating the PN sequence portion of each beacon signal against a known PN sequence until a match is found. Once the frequency offset is reduced below a threshold value, and the start of the PN sequence of the incoming signal is located, acquisition is completed.

    摘要: A satellite-based communications network employing at least one satellite and a plurality of user terminals adapted for use with the communications network. The network includes a transmitter for transmitting data to the plurality of user terminals, where the data includes a plurality of broadcast modes and/or services. The transmitter transmits data in a packetized format in which a predetermined number of data packets are transmitted in a frame, where the frame is defined as a predetermined period of time. Further, the transmitter transmits each of the plurality of broadcast modes utilizing a single carrier frequency. Each of the plurality of user terminals includes a receiver for receiving the transmitted data and for regenerating the data so that the data is made available to a device coupled to the user terminal.

    摘要: A cellular system supports dispatch and datagram operations. The architecture of a conventional cellular system, such as the GSM system, is modified by adding a local area network (TIL) where nodes on the network include various base switching controllers (BSC). The BSC has a Switching Interface Module (SIM) which provides an interface to the TIL. The TIL may also include one or more gateways (40) to landline based networks. The datagram operation uses an appropriate gateway to complete a data path which includes an RF segment to or from the BSC. Dispatch operations provide for switching by the BSC so that switching is at a level below the Mobile Switching Center (MSC). For example, compressed voice traffic received by the BSC may be transmitted over the TIL to another BSC from where it is sent over an RF segment to a mobile receiver (MS).
