  • Method and apparatus for predictive operation of a communication system
    Patent number: 5555444
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling operations of a cellular communication system having multiple satellites, multiple subscriber units which communicate through the multiple satellites, and a system control segment which creates a subscriber traffic prediction and manages operation of the communication system. The method includes the steps of decomposing a traffic prediction request into regional traffic requests; determining a regional traffic prediction for each regional traffic request based on past regional traffic history; and combining the regional traffic requests into a consolidated subscriber traffic prediction. The subscriber traffic prediction is then used to determine a system operational plan which controls operations of the communication system.
