Method of satellite communication with flexible capacity distribution based on beam hopping and on a fractional reuse scheme
Abstract:
A method, and associated equipment, for dynamically allocating resources in a satellite network comprising at least one satellite configured to form a plurality of satellite beams and terminals, comprises the steps of: clustering the beams into groups of beams, allocating frequency resources to each of the groups of beams, determining geographical zones in which these frequency resources can be used simultaneously, determining a hop frame comprising first timeslots, in which the frequency resources are allocated to the whole set of terminals of one of the beams of the group, and second timeslots, in which the frequency resources are allocated to a subset of terminals of at least one beam of the group, identifying the subset of terminals and allocating to the terminals of the frequency resources, and uploading of information relating to the overall loading of each of the beams.
