Abstract: An interface (4;12) between a data terminal (2;18) and a digital communications link (6,8,10) implements protocols and frame formats designed to reduce delays in a data communication with a remote terminal (18;2). The interface (4;12) overcomes the need to send or receive an HDLC SABME or UA control signal, and allows data to be sent over the digital communications link (6,8,10) as soon as the communication parameters are established. In a non-ARQ (error correction) mode, the interface (4;12) sends control signals and data over the communications link (6,8,10) in frames subdivided into many small subframes of fixed length, each subframe having a length code. The interface (12), when arranged for connection to the data terminal (18) through a telephone network (14), encodes call progress signals from the telephone network (14) for sending over the digital communications link (6,8,10). The interface (4;12) encodes and decodes interrupt signals for sending between the data terminal (2;18) and the digital communications link (6,8,10) when an interrupt signal is detected.

Abstract: In a frame sync method, a receiver searches for the presence of an N-symbol long unique word pattern. For each possible frame sync detected, the receive r proceeds to demodulation and FEC processing. After each iteration of the FEC decoder, the detected unique word pattern is compared to the expected one an d the frame sync is detected if the number of unique word errors has decreased .

Abstract: A satellite communications system provides a communications service to a mobile terminal (2) on which different communications applications (4a to 4d) may be run. Calls are set up between any of the applications (4a to 4d) via a satellite (12) to a network management centre (18) which provides different service adaptors (20a to 20d) which adapt the calls to different types of service provided over terrestrial networks (22), such as telephony, facsimile, internet or ATM services. The bandwidth allocated to each call over the satellite link may be varied during the call according to demand either from the relevant application (4) or from the network management centre (18). Multiple calls may be connected concurrently to or from different applications running on the mobile terminal. A maximum bandwidth is allocated to each call. Efficient use is thereby made of the limited bandwidth available over the satellite (12), according to the instantaneous bandwidth requirements of different applications (4). For real-time calls requiring multiple slots per frame in a TDMA channel, the slots are mutually spaced apart to reduce delay.

Abstract: A system for providing real-time television broadcasts to aircraft 4 vi a satellite 2 is described. The broadcast signal 11 is transmitted to the aircraft 4 together with a communications signal 10, forming part of an existing communications network air interface. The system separates the communications signal 10 from the broadcast signal 11 and enables the real- time broadcast to be displayed on-board the aircraft.
