Patent number: 11936463Abstract: Measures for managing satellite bearer resources of a satellite telecommunications network. A corpus of data based on historical satellite bearer resource allocations is maintained. A machine learning agent is trained with the corpus to determine a plurality of weights for use in directing satellite bearer resource management in the satellite telecommunications network. A satellite bearer resource allocation request is received. A set of features is extracted from a current environment of the satellite telecommunications network. The set of features defines currently allocated satellite bearer resources. On the basis of the determined plurality of weights and the set of features, satellite bearer resources of the satellite telecommunications network are managed to satisfy the request.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Airbus Defence and Space LimitedInventors: Ashley Baker, Paul Adams, Sam Wooler, Brian Van Luipen, Stuart Taylor
