Abstract:
A locating and communication method for a radio terminal by means of a satellite locating and communication system, which implements a first step, in the course of which the radio terminal transmits to a non-geostationary satellite a repeating sequence a predetermined number of times N for the same data packet, which is time-shifted by the same predetermined time shift Δτ each time is provided. Subsequently, a satellite access and processing ground station determines the location of the radio terminal from the data packets with access, which are extracted from a listening signal digitized and dated by the satellite and from the same detected sequence associated with said radio terminal, and from the ephemerides of the satellite by using a technique for measuring angle or angles of arrival by means of sequenced interferometry associated with a technique for measuring Doppler drift or drifts.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting data in a telecommunication network having a satellite component and a terrestrial component, the data being organized into a set of packets having an identifier, the telecommunication network comprising at least one bearer, at least one satellite and at least one terrestrial station, the method comprises the steps of: transmission of a data packet having an identifier from said satellite, reception of the data packet by the bearer, transmission of a data packet having an identifier in response to a transmitted negative acknowledgement message by the terrestrial station. A method for receiving data to be implemented on a bearer, a method for transmitting data to be implemented on a terrestrial station, and an associated data transmission system are also provided.
Abstract:
A radiofrequency system and to a data collection method includes at least one beacon, and at least one space platform or airborne platform with an adaptable antenna beam. The method comprises: a step wherein the platform emits an activation signal with a low directional antenna beam, each beacon responding with an access request, a step of generating a table comprising, for each item of equipment, a duration of visibility, a frequency band and a transmission duration, a step of defining a control plan scheduling the sequencing of the transmissions associated with directional antenna beam configurations of the platform, a step comprising: transmitting the times at which they are able to transmit to the items of equipment that emitted an access request, orienting the antenna beam of the platform according to the control plan, sending and storing the data.
