  • Satellite telecommunication method and system and base station for one such system
    Publication number: 20040157553
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for assigning communication resources in a telecommunication system, in which the communications are relayed by satellites covering an area of land that is divided into zones. Each zone has a communication resource pattern formed, on the one hand, by the directions of the satellites seen from the zones and, on the other hand, by frequency sub-bands and/or polarization. These resources are distributed so that two adjacent zones comprise different resources. The patterns of two zones are distinguished only by the direction of the satellite(s) that are assigned to the zones having this pattern. In one embodiment, all of the frequency resources are assigned to all the zones and the patterns are only distinguished by the directions of the satellites that supply these resources.
