Systems and methods for aligning timing of an inroute transmission of a terminal with a gateway are disclosed. A system may include a processor and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to perform a random estimation of location pertaining to a time-division multiple access (TDMA) frame boundary of a gateway. Based on an asynchronous scrambled coded multiple access (ASCMA) technique, the system may transmit ASCMA group burst packets including precise timing feedback request for the gateway. The system may receive a feedback from the gateway, in response to the precise timing feedback request. The processor may determine an adjustment for aligning timing of an inroute transmission of the terminal with respect to the TDMA frame boundary of the gateway. The system may apply the adjustment to synchronize the timing of the inroute transmission of the terminal with the gateway.
