  • 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.
