  • Patent number: 10582488
    Abstract: A method operating a telecommunications system including a base station and plural terminal devices arranged to communicate over a radio interface supporting a downlink shared channel conveying user-plane data from the base station to the terminal devices and a downlink control channel conveying control-plane data from the base station to the terminal devices. The control-plane data conveys information on physical resource allocations for the downlink shared channel for respective of the terminal devices. The radio interface is based on a radio frame structure including plural subframes each including a control region supporting the downlink control channel and a user-plane region supporting the downlink shared channel. The method uses the control region of a first radio subframe to convey an indication of a physical resource allocation for a first terminal device on the shared downlink channel in the user-plane region of a second radio subframe subsequent to the first radio subframe.

  • Patent number: 10574338
    Abstract: A system comprises a ground hub and a mobile airborne platform hovering over or close to a coverage area on or near the earth surface. A bistatic radar receiver on the airborne platform includes a first antenna system to capture reflected radiofrequency signals originated from a satellite via reflected paths from the coverage area; and a second antenna system to transmit the reflected radiofrequency signals to the ground hub via a feeder link. At the ground hub, a multibeam antenna system receives the reflected radiofrequency signals and captures radiation signals directly from the satellite via a direct path; and a remote beam forming network remotely forms receiving beams for the first antenna system. A remote radar processing center includes a cross-correlator to receive the reflected radiofrequency signals and the radiation signals as two input signal streams, perform cross-correlations between the two input signal streams, and output an output signal stream.

  • Patent number: 10506515
    Abstract: In one implementation, satellite coverage provisioning for a service area may be performed by updating power consumption states for satellites in a constellation of satellites and determining whether each satellite of the constellation is required to be in the minimal power consumption mode based on its updated power consumption state. For satellites that are not required to be in the minimal power consumption mode, a power consumption score may be calculated and these satellites may be sorted according to their respective power consumption scores. Based on the sorted order, it may be determined whether at least some of these satellites can be put into a reduced power consumption mode based on their respective power consumption scores and coverage of the service area. Then it may be determined if each of the satellites that are in the reduced power consumption mode can be put into the minimal power consumption mode.
