Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for inband telemetry for a virtual transponder are disclosed. A disclosed method for inband telemetry for a virtual transponder comprises transmitting, by a payload antenna on a vehicle, a payload signal to a hosted receiving antenna. The method further comprises transmitting, by the payload antenna, a hosted telemetry signal to the hosted receiving antenna. In one or more embodiments, the hosted telemetry signal and the payload signal are transmitted on the same frequency band.

Abstract: A disclosed method for a virtual transponder comprises generating a configuration for a portion of a payload on a vehicle utilized by a host user by using an option for each variable(s) for a portion of the payload utilized by the host user. The method further comprises generating a configuration for a portion of the payload utilized by a hosted user by using an option for each variable(s) for a portion of the payload utilized by the hosted user. Also, the method comprises generating host commands for reconfiguring the portion of the payload utilized by the host user by using the configuration for the portion of the payload utilized by the host user. Further, the method comprises generating hosted commands for reconfiguring the portion of the payload utilized by the hosted user by using the configuration for the portion of the payload utilized by the hosted user.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining traffic demand data indicating user traffic demand through a communication system including a multistage interconnection network. The method also includes generating first path data based on the traffic demand data. The first path data represents a configuration of components of the multistage interconnection network to provide traffic paths through the multistage interconnection network. The method includes selectively generating second path data based on a determination that a potential failure of the multistage interconnection network cannot be isolated, based on the traffic paths, to a single component. The second path data represents a modified configuration of the components to provide the traffic paths and test paths through the multistage interconnection network to facilitate isolation of the failure of the multistage interconnection network to the single component.
