  • Publication number: 20240187087
    Abstract: A method for allocating time-frequency telecommunication resources in a telecommunication system includes a satellite, user terminals UE (20_1, 20_2), the satellite simultaneously rendering multiple telecommunication beams (B_1, B_2) that are each associated with a separate user terminal UE (20_1, 20_2) and dynamically re-centering each beam on the associated UE; the method comprising: given a set of grids each representing at least a portion of the Earth's surface and each comprising a plurality of areas, the distance between any two areas of a grid being above a determined non-zero threshold associated with the grid, the time-frequency resources are allocated relative to a time T by applying at least the following rule: a time-frequency resource associated with the grid may be allocated to each of 2 UEs (20_1, 20_2) only if the positions of the 2 UEs are in separate areas of the grid.

  • Publication number: 20230188206
    Abstract: A method is provided for compensating time differences for the time alignment of uplink service frames and downlink service frames, the uplink service frames and the downlink service frames being exchanged between a satellite and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal belonging to a 5G cell comprising a cell centre, the pre-compensation is calculated on the basis of a main beam directed towards the centre (O) of the cell (5G).

  • Patent number: 10382227
    Abstract: A method comprises a preprocessing step consisting, in the gateway station, in pre-segmenting the data as a function of the carrier frequency which is dedicated to them on the downlink DL, in reassembling and in encapsulating the pre-segmented data in successive basic frames DL BB-Frames, that can be transmitted over the downlink, each basic frame DL BB-Frame of the downlink being encapsulated by addition of a specific transport header DL BB-TH on the downlink and a data field, and a step consisting, in the gateway station, in incorporating the different basic frames DL BB-Frames of the downlink in the data field of the different basic frames UL BB-Frames of the uplink.

  • Patent number: 9859958
    Abstract: A method and device are provided suited to estimating a frequency value for aeronautical communication between a first station and an airborne system moving in relation to the first station, the data being transmitted in the form of a succession of frames, a frame comprising at least one first header field of known data followed by one or more fields of unknown data, and having at least the following steps: Step 1: performance of a supervised correlation on the known data (300) of the header, and estimation of a first frequency range centered on a frequency ; Step 2: production of a blind correlation on at least all of the unknown data of a field of data, by looking for a correlation peak over the frequency range +/?, as determined in step 1, and by retaining of the frequency corresponding to the correlation peak.

  • Patent number: 9420491
    Abstract: A method is provided of dynamic allocation of shared resources in a communication network, consisting in defining, in a time-frequency plan, a superframe of a given duration ?T and a given spectral width ?f, made up of one or more frames, each defining a regular time-frequency grid, of which one square, referred to as a time-frequency unit, constitutes the smallest time and frequency interval allocable to a user of said network within said frame, said method consisting in reserving, on each carrier frequency of a frame, at least one block of a number K, greater than or equal to 1, of time-frequency units which can be dynamically allocated to a user for communication or for synchronization.
