Abstract:
Disclosed is a communication method of a satellite and a ground station and apparatuses performing the same. The communication method includes transmitting a plurality of frames to a satellite based on a beam hopping time plan (BHTP) of the satellite and a ground station and synchronizing the BHTP based on an index of a frame received through a beam switching window (BSW) allocated to the ground station among the plurality of frames, and an identification value indicating at least one sub-frame included in the frame.
