Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device may perform a plurality of signal strength measurements of a radio frequency (RF) signal transmitted by a satellite, wherein performing the plurality of signal strength measurements occurs over a period of time during which the mobile device is subject to a movement. The mobile device may determine, for each signal strength measurement of the plurality of signal strength measurements, a respective orientation of the mobile device corresponding to when the respective signal strength measurement was performed. The mobile device may determine a target orientation for the satellite-based communications based at least in part on a value of a particular signal strength measurement of the plurality of signal strength measurements and the respective orientation of the mobile device corresponding to the particular signal strength measurement. The mobile device may provide guidance for rotating the mobile device to the target orientation.

Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device may determine a set of target orientations of the mobile device in which an antenna lobe of the mobile device is pointed toward the satellite, the set of target orientations based on: an orientation of the antenna lobe relative to the mobile device, and a location of the satellite relative to the mobile device. The mobile device may determine a current orientation of the mobile device. The mobile device may provide, at a user interface (UI) of the mobile device, guidance for rotating the mobile device from the current orientation to an orientation within the set of target orientations.
