  • Patent number: 12074676
    Abstract: Beamforming codebook synthesis in a wireless communications system (WCS) is provided. A wireless node simultaneously emits multiple reference beams in a coverage area based on a set of codewords that is optimized for a specific number of antenna elements in an antenna array. The wireless node may need to emit the reference beams using a different number of the antenna elements in the antenna array. Herein, the wireless node is configured to determine a different set(s) of codewords that is fine tuned for forming an identical number of the reference beams from a different number of the antenna elements and steered toward identical directions. In addition, the wireless node can dynamically select an appropriate set of codewords in response to different operating conditions. As such, it is possible to switch transparently, from both wireless node and end user perspectives, between different antenna array configurations under different operating conditions.

  • Patent number: 12074684
    Abstract: Embodiments provide in-flight configuration of satellite pathways to flexibly service terra-link and cross-link traffic in a constellation of non-processed satellites, for example, to facilitate flexible forward-channel and return-channel capacity in a satellite communications system. For example, each satellite in the constellation can include one or more dynamically configurable pathway and switching and/or beamforming can be used to configure each pathway to be a forward-channel pathway or a return-channel pathway in each of a number of timeslots according to a pathway configuration schedule. At least some of the pathways can be further selectively configured, in each timeslot, to carry “terra-link” traffic to and/or from terrestrial terminals and “cross-link” traffic to and/or from one or more other satellites of the constellation.

  • Patent number: 12074686
    Abstract: Radio communications systems use 100 to 200 satellites in random low-earth orbits distributed over a predetermined range of north and south latitudes. The satellites themselves create a radio route between ground stations via radio links between multiple satellites by virtue of onboard global navigation satellite system circuitry for determining the location of the satellite and route creation circuitry for calculating in real time the direction from the satellite's location at a particular instant to a destination ground station. Directional antennas in the satellites transmit routing radio signals to enhance the probability of reception by other satellites. One embodiment facilitates the creation of satellite-to-satellite links by assigning each satellite a unique identifier, storing orbital information defining the locations of all of the orbiting satellites in the system at any particular time, and including in the radio signal the unique identifier associated with the transmitting satellite.
