    Abstract: A method for air to ground communication interference mitigation within an aircraft equipped with a multi beam array antenna includes adjusting a modulation symbol interleaving and/or forward error correction of an aircraft receiver interface in response to detected interference from an interferer. The method further includes reducing a data rate of the aircraft receiver interface when the adjusting of the modulation symbol interleaving and/or forward error correction does not mitigate the detected interference. Another method for interference mitigation may include performing antenna beam steering away from a geographic (GEO) arc during an aircraft turn. This method further includes reducing an aircraft transmitter transmit power when a signal quality of a forward link is within a predetermined range of a signal quality threshold.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method for paging a user terminal (UT) using a satellite communications system having a gateway and one or more satellites, wherein each satellite produces a plurality (n) of beams and each beam includes a plurality of channels. The method of the present invention includes the step of recalling a first location of the UT, wherein the first location corresponds to a location of the UT at a first time t1. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by performing a lookup in a table or database that includes location information for user terminals at different points in time. The method also includes the step of determining a first group (g1) of beams which covers the first location of the UT at a second time t2, where g1

    Abstract: Time-scattering of data is employed to reduce the interference effects, such as, error rate, between terminals disposed in nearby beams, or cells, of a communication system. A scattering schedule is determined, typically by a gateway, for a terminal. Scattering instructions, based at least in part on that scattering schedule, are provided to the terminal. The scattering instructions provide terminals with information suitable for controlling the temporal scattering of time slot data to be transmitted by the terminals so that interference impact of nearby out-of beam terminals is reduced. Time-scattered data received by a receiver remote from the terminal is returned to the desired order by sorting the data in accordance with the scattering schedule to achieve a reversing of the scattering. Time-scattering may be applied to data moving in either or both of the forward and reverse directions of a communication system.

    Abstract: A handoff technique in which system users detect transitions in service between a current service area (B10, S4) and an adjacent service area (B2, S5), and request a forward link channel in the new service area (B2, S5) when a detected signal strength for the new service area exceeds predetermined threshold levels. The forward communications link in the current service area is maintained until the strength of the new service area signal (B2, S5) reaches a certain level and appropriate channel quality is confirmed, as based on various known criteria. Typically, service area transitions are detected using the signal strength of pilot or paging signals associated with service areas, which are used to determine a relative signal strength of new service area signals. Pilot signal level adjustments used to counter roll-off effects are detected and compensated for in comparing signal levels . To minimize the burden on system resources, new service area signals are not selectable until a minimum time has passed, or a minimu m change in energy from a prior pilot signal is detected. In addition, communications using the previous service area can be dropped almo st immediately upon engaging the new service area.

    Abstract: Métodos y aparatos para la provision de una comunicacion de acceso multiple ortogonal en el enlace de retorno de un sistema de comunicacion satelital. En una realizacion se puede desarrollar un control de bucle cerrado de un parámetro de transmision asociado a senales de transmision. Sumado a ello, se monitorea los cambios de movimiento de una terminal de manera tal que se lleva a cabo un control de bucle abierto de un parámetro de transmision si el cambio detectado alcanza un umbral determinado. Por ejemplo, si se detecta un movimiento abrupto o repentino se lleva a cabo un control abierto.
