Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a communication schedule for a satellite system are provided. For instance, orbital data indicative of one or more orbital elements of a first satellite system and one or more second satellite systems can be obtained. Frequency data frequency data indicative of one or more frequencies at which the one or more second satellite systems transmit data can also be obtained. One or more expected radio frequency interference events associated with the first satellite system can then be determined based at least in part on the orbital data and the frequency data. One or more downlink periods during which data is transmitted by the first satellite and one or more silent periods during which data is not transmitted by the first satellite can then be scheduled based at least in part on the expected radio frequency interference events.

Abstract: Systems and methods of link fade compensation are provided. For instance, transmission data can be received from a transmitting device. The transmission data can be provided using a first modulation and coding mode. A signal quality value associated with the received transmission data can be determined. Data indicative of a modulation and coding scheme correlating signal quality values to modulation and coding modes can be accessed. A cease data transmission control command can be provided to the transmitting device when the determined signal quality value is less than a cutoff threshold specified by the modulation and coding scheme. The cease data transmission control command includes an instruction to cease transmitting the transmission data.
