An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is a method including estimating, by an endpoint, a first rate of change of a Doppler frequency offset during a downlink reception from a satellite associated with the Doppler frequency offset and applying, by the endpoint, a second rate of change of the Doppler frequency offset to an uplink transmission to the satellite. The second rate of change of the Doppler frequency offset compensates the first rate of change of the Doppler frequency offset.
