Filed:

Apr 14, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/086505

Inventors:

David A. Roos - Boyds MD, US
Adrian Morris - Darnestown MD, US
Stanley Kay - Rockville MD, US

Assignee:

Hughes Network Systems, LLC - Germantown MD

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370351

Abstract:

A high capacity satellite communications system including a satellite with a beam for a forward downlink focused on a geographic area for which disproportionately higher capacity is desired, a hub located in a geographic area for which disproportionately lower capacity is desired, compared to the location of a VSAT, and the VSAT located in area where a beam for a forward downlink received by the VSAT from the satellite does not overlap with a beam for a return downlink received by the hub from a satellite.

Assignee:

Hughes Network Systems, LLC - Germantown MD

International Classification:

H04B 7/185

US Classification:

370316

Abstract:

A triple use satellite system includes a VSAT population including a VSAT, and a satellite including a broadcast beam for a broadcast service and spot beams for a broadband service, where each of the spot beams provides broadband service to VSATs in separate coverage areas in a geographic region and the broadcast beam provides a broadcast service to the VSAT population in the geographic region.

Assignee:

Hughes Network Systems, LLC - Germantown MD

International Classification:

H04B 7/185

US Classification:

370316, 370389, 370474

Abstract:

An approach provides a satellite air interface to efficiently support communication with a terrestrial network. One or more packets associated with a data communication session are received from a terrestrial network configured to provide cellular communications. A frame representing the packet for transmission is generated over a satellite link to a user terminal. Signaling information for the transmission of the packet over the terrestrial network is modified or eliminated for transmission over the satellite link.

International Classification:

H04B 7/185

US Classification:

370316000

Abstract:

A satellite-based communications network employing at least one satellite and a plurality of user terminals adapted for use with the communications network. The network includes a transmitter for transmitting data to the plurality of user terminals, where the data includes a plurality of broadcast modes and/or services. The transmitter transmits data in a packetized format in which a predetermined number of data packets are transmitted in a frame, where the frame is defined as a predetermined period of time. Further, the transmitter transmits each of the plurality of broadcast modes utilizing a single carrier frequency. Each of the plurality of user terminals includes a receiver for receiving the transmitted data and for regenerating the data so that the data is made available to a device coupled to the user terminal.

Assignee:

Hughes Networks Systems, LLC - Germantown MD

International Classification:

H04B 7/185

US Classification:

455 121

Abstract:

A system for gateway RF diversity using a configurable spot beam satellite including a satellite, a first gateway connected to a first VSAT population through the satellite by a first gateway spot beam and a first user spot beam set, a diversity gateway located outside of the first gateway spot beam for the first gateway, and a diversity control function to command the satellite to connect the first user spot beam set for the first gateway to a diversity gateway spot beam when the first gateway experiences service interruption.
