Patent number: 9596679Abstract: A satellite communication system includes a hub and one or more terminals, wherein the one or more terminals may be configured to communicate over a satellite with the hub using a segment of the satellite's resources and using a single channel per carrier (SCPC) access scheme. Methods are presented herein for facilitating the dimensioning of at least a power characteristic of said space segment using a Demand Assignment Multiple Access approach and for enforcing the dimensioned power characteristic in real-time, or substantially in real-time. Also presented are methods for allocating power to SCPC carriers, wherein a maximum power level for a carrier may be determined using a DAMA technique.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2016Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd.Inventors: Doron Elinav, Mati E. Rubin, Snir Brener

Patent number: 8958328Abstract: A satellite communication system comprising a hub and plurality of terminals may be divided into multiple segments, wherein each segment may support part of the terminals. A method for decentralized balancing of traffic between the system segments is presented herein. One segment in each coverage beam may be designated as home carrier and include load balancing information. The terminals may be configured to tune on a home carrier, receive the load balancing information and then use it for selecting a least loaded segment on which they may remain operational until reset or powered off. In some embodiments of the invention, said load balancing information may be used for calculating relative probabilities for selecting segments through a weighted random selection algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2012Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd.Inventors: Sarig Sela, Mordekhay Goldshtein, Magal Pinchas, Snir Brener, Rafi Heiman
