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.
