Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing end-to-end beamforming. For example, an end-to-end beamforming system include a relay satellite and a ground network to provide communications to user terminals located in user beam coverage areas. The ground network includes geographically distributed access nodes and a central processing system (CPS). Beamformers of the ground network generate forward uplink signals from appropriately weighted combinations of user data streams that, after relay by the satellite, produce forward downlink signals that combine to form forward user beams.

Abstract: A method of communicating with satellites in a low-earth orbit (LEO) constellation includes determining, by a controller of a mobile communicator mounted on a mobile platform, one or more conditions corresponding to a plurality of spatial channels associated with multiple satellites in the LEO constellation. The method also includes allocating, based on the one or more conditions, each subset of a plurality of subsets of antenna resources of a phased array antenna to a respective different satellite included in the multiple satellites in the LEO constellation, where allocating each subset includes allocating a particular antenna resource to two or more subsets of the plurality of subsets of the phased array antenna. The method also includes commanding one or more transceivers to establish simultaneous communicative connections to the different satellites via the allocated subsets of antenna resources.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for controlling orientation of a payload of a balloon through a despin mechanism. In one instance, a system may include a flexible coupling configured to reduce effects of a balloon envelope tilting on a payload, a sensor configured to measure rotational displacement of the flexible coupling, a despin mechanism including a motor configured to rotate the payload, and a controller. The controller may be configured to use receive the measured rotational displacement and to use the despin mechanism to rotate the payload towards a preferred orientation based on the measured rotational displacement.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for improving communication throughput despite periodic blockages. In some implementations, a method includes receiving, by a receiver and from a transmitter, code blocks transmitted according to a first set of communication parameters that includes one or more first interleaver parameters used to interleave information in the code blocks prior to transmission. Corrupted portions of at least some of the received code blocks are identified. A blockage duration and a blockage interval of a blockage of communication channel between the transmitter and the receiver are determined based on the corrupted portions of the received code blocks. A second set of communication parameters that includes one or more second interleaver parameters are determined based on the blockage duration and blockage interval. The second set of communication parameters are communicated to the transmitter for subsequent transmissions by the transmitter to the receiver.

Abstract: A facility operates with respect to a configuration of one or more unmanned aerial vehicles operating as relays between on or more wireless network participant devices and one or more wireless base stations being supported directly or indirectly by a planetary surface. The facility conducts an experiment that yields quality of service results and flight duration results for each of multiple values of a UAV control parameter. The facility selects a value of the UAV control parameter that produced an advantageous tradeoff of quality of service results and flight duration results, and stores the selected value, such that the stored value of the UAV control parameter is usable to operate the UAVs of the configuration in production service.
