    • An antenna having multiple antenna elements that are selectively activated performs an initial acquisition of a satellite signal by activating only a few of the antenna elements. This results in a broad beam width and increases the likelihood of detecting the signal from the satellite. When the satellite signal is initially detected, the system increases the number of active elements to narrow the beam width. The system incrementally increases the number of active antenna elements until the detected signal from the satellite exceeds a predetermined threshold. At that point, the location of the satellite may be precisely determined and all antenna elements activated to lock onto the satellite signal. If the antenna loses acquisition of the satellite signal, the reverse process may be implemented whereby some elements are selectively deactivated to broaden the beam width of the antenna in an effort to reacquire the satellite signal. When the satellite signal is reacquired, the antenna elements are incrementally reactivated until all antenna elements are active.
    • 具有选择性激活的多个天线元件的天线通过仅激活几个天线元件来执行卫星信号的初始采集。 这导致宽的波束宽度并且增加了检测来自卫星的信号的可能性。 当最初检测到卫星信号时,系统增加有源元件的数量以使波束宽度变窄。 系统逐渐增加有源天线元件的数量,直到来自卫星的检测信号超过预定阈值。 此时,可以精确地确定卫星的位置,并激活所有天线元件以锁定到卫星信号上。 如果天线失去对卫星信号的采集,则可以实现相反的过程,从而一些元件被选择性地去激活以扩大天线的波束宽度,以努力重新获取卫星信号。 当重新获取卫星信号时,天线元件被递增地重新激活,直到所有天线元件都被激活。

    • Terrestrial antennas (10A, 10B, 10C and 10D) which are capable of transmitting and receiving radio signals directly to and from satellites in low Earth orbit are disclosed. The preferred embodiment of the invention employs circularly polarized, dual-frequency printed circuit antenna elements (136) measuring only a fraction of an inch in diameter. One embodiment (10A) includes an elevation array and an azimuth array which both reside on a trapezoidal, semi-conical housing that resembles a flattened pyramid. Both the top and the curved exterior of the pyramid support circular, slotted, printed circuit patches on their surfaces which bound individual radiating antenna elements (18). Since the entire antenna is only a few inches in diameter and is less than two inches high, it can be incorporated as an integral element of a telephone (T) or can be mounted at the end of a collapsible mast (CM). Other embodiments (10B, 10C, and 10D) of the invention employ hemispherical, cylindrical, and truncated hemispherical configurations. These unique antennas permit direct communication with satellites in low Earth orbit using the 20 and 30 GHz frequency bands. The antennas (10A, 10B, 10C and 10D) and their associated circuitry are sufficiently powerful to provide dependable service virtually anywhere on land, sea or in the air.

    • A method of data transmission in a data communication network includes negotiating a connection between a source terminal and a destination terminal in the data communication network. During the connection negotiation process, optimal field lengths are determined for recording a source identifier and a sequence number in data packets transmitted in the connection. The source identifier identifies a connection from the source end to the destination end of the data transmission, while the sequence number identifies the relative position of a data packet in a series of data packets transmitted in the connection. The length of the source identifier and sequence number fields may either be calculated or selected from a set of predetermined field length values. Data packets formatted according, to different transmission protocols (“secondary data packets”) that are received for transmission through the data communication network are packed into one or more “primary data packets” formatted according to the transmission protocol of the data communication network. In addition to a source identifier and sequence number, the primary data packets include a first packet offset to identify the location of a first new secondary data packet that is packed into the primary data packet. A first packet offset field length is determined during connection negotiation. The data transmission method of the invention includes packing one or more secondary data packets, or a portion thereof, in a primary data packet to fill the primary data packet, thus minimizing unused data bits in the primary data packet. After transmission, the primary data packets are reordered, if necessary, and the secondary data packets are unpacked therefrom.

    • A system for acquiring the beacon of a satellite and synchronizing data transmission between the satellite and a ground terminal is disclosed. The ground terminal conducts a search for a satellite to be acquired. The search may be based on previously developed information from which the location of the satellite can be predicted and, thus, limited to a small area of the sky, or cover a large area of the sky in accordance with a search routine. After the beacon of a satellite is acquired, the geographic area served by the satellite is determined. If the satellite does not serve the cell within which the ground terminal is located, a further satellite search is conducted, which may be based in part on information contained in the beacon of the acquired satellite. After the satellite serving the cell containing the ground terminal is acquired, a test is made to determine how long the satellite will continue to cover the cell. If the time period is short, communication waits until the next satellite to cover the cell is acquired. If the time period is long, communication is allowed to begin. The beacon is also used by the ground terminal to: (i) accurately time uplink data transmissions; (ii) estimate uplink Doppler, Doppler rate, and Doppler rate derivative and use this information to pre-compensate the carrier frequency of the uplink data transmissions for Doppler variations; and (iii) estimate the carrier frequency of downlink data transmission(s) by continuously tracking the beacon carrier frequency and scaling the result by a suitable scaling factor.

    • Methods and apparatus which route, control and manage traffic throughout a Satellite Communication System operating in low Earth orbit are disclosed. Voice, video and data traffic from terrestrial gateways (G) and from portable (P), mobile (M) or fixed (F) terminals are directed up through the constellation of satellites (S) and back down to destinations on Earth. The satellites provide continuous worldwide communication services while insuring uniform end-to-end transmission delays. The satellite network is highly adaptive to the constantly changing network topology, and will offer a synchronous circuit switched communication service that provides sequential delivery of user data, regardless of the type of the data transmitted. The network employs datagram switching, as opposed to conventional virtual circuit switching techniques. Packets associated with a single phone call do not necessarily travel along the same route, and consequently arrive at their common destinations at different times with a variable transmission delay. Packets (26) received from a portable (P), mobile (M) or fixed (F) terminal, from a satellite (S), or from a stationary gateway (G) are dispatched from an origin node (OUR.sub.-- NODE) to a destination node (DEST.sub.-- NODE) according to address instructions carried in the packet header (28). At each node, propagation delay vectors OUR.sub.-- DELAY.sub.-- EST [DEST.sub.-- NODE, ] are calculated using local computers. These delay vectors estimate a time delay which the packet (26) encounters in traveling from the origin node (OUR.sub.-- NODE) to the destination node (DEST.sub.-- NODE). An optimal route (opt.sub.-- link) is then selected from the set of calculated delay vectors, and the packet (26) is routed to the destination node (DEST.sub.-- NODE) via the pathway (opt.sub.-- link) that insures both the lowest end-to-end delay and the best overall traffic management of the network.

    • The present invention overcomes the limitations encountered by conventional packet switching using virtual circuits. The present invention utilizes a "datagram" approach that routes every packet (22) conveyed by the system independently at every node in the network. The packets (22) are directed along an optimized pathway through the network by a fast packet switch (38) that directs traffic based on instructions from an adaptive routing processor (12A) that continuously runs an adaptive routing software (12B). This adaptive routing processor (14) supplies an output (12C) to a routing cache memory (20) which stores fast packet switch routing port output tags (30). An input packet processor (28) extracts a supercell address from the header (24) of each packet (22) and uses the supercell address (21A) as an index to retrieve a fast packet switch output port tag (30) stored in the routing cache memory (20). This tag (30) is prepended to the packet (22), and sent to an input port (36) of the fast packet switch (38), which includes a number of multi-stage self-routing switch modules (132) and a number of asynchronous packet multiplexors (134). The modules (132) and multiplexors (134) route the tagged packet (34) to an output port (40) which is connected either to a scanning beam antenna (SBA) or an intersatellite link antenna (ISA).
    • 本发明克服了使用虚拟电路的传统分组交换所遇到的限制。 本发明利用一种“数据报”方式,在网络中的每个节点处独立地路由由系统传送的每个分组(22)。 分组(22)沿着通过网络的优化路径通过快速分组交换机(38)引导,所述快速分组交换机基于来自连续运行自适应路由选择软件(12B)的自适应路由处理器(12A)的指令来指导业务。 该自适应路由处理器(14)将输出(12C)提供给存储快速分组交换路由端口输出标签(30)的路由高速缓冲存储器(20)。 输入分组处理器(28)从每个分组(22)的报头(24)提取超小区地址,并使用超小区地址(21A)作为索引来检索存储在路由中的快速分组交换机输出端口标签(30) 缓存存储器(20)。 该标签(30)被预先分配给分组(22),并被发送到快速分组交换机(38)的输入端口(36),快速分组交换机(38)包括多个多阶段自路由交换机模块(132)和 多个异步数据包多路复用器(134)。 模块(132)和多路复用器(134)将标记的分组(34)路由到连接到扫描波束天线(SBA)或卫星间链路天线(ISA)的输出端口(40)。

    • A data communication system for a constellation of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites (13a, 13b, . . . ) that employ Earth-fixed cellular beam management technology is disclosed. The data to be communicated is formed into data packets by a transmitting ground terminal (41). Each data packet includes a header (41) and a payload (43). The header (41) contains address and other control information and the payload (43) contains the data to be communicated. The header and payload databits are separated (71) and outer forward error correction (FEC) encoded (72, 73) with an outer error correction code. The symbols of the outer encoded header and payload codewords are interleaved, first separately (74, 75) and then together (76). The outer encoded, interleaved header and payload codewords are inner encoded by an inner FEC encoder (77). Upon receipt by an uplink satellite (63), the inner error correction code is removed (87) and the resulting codeword symbols are de-interleaved (88, 89, 90). The outer error correction code of the header portion is then removed (91) to recover the header of the original signal. The information contained in the header is used to route the data packets through the satellite constellation to the appropriate downlink satellite (93). The downlink satellite re-outer encodes the header (95) and the symbols of the re-outer encoded header and the still outer encoded payload codewords are separately interleaved (96, 97) and then interleaved together (98). The interleaved re-outer encoded header and outer encoded payload databits are re-inner encoded (99). Upon receipt by a receiving ground terminal (107), the data packets are inner decoded (111) to remove the inner error correction code and the symbols of the header and payload codewords are de-interleaved (112, 113, 114). Then the header and payload codewords are outer decoded (115, 116) to remove the outer error correction codes and recover the header and payload. Preferably a payload filter (117) is included to eliminate the need to outer decode payload codewords not destined for the receiving ground terminal (107).

    • A scalable satellite data communication system that provides incremental global broadband services using Earth-fixed cells may begin with a limited satellite deployment that initially serves a limited number of Earth-fixed cells. The system has the flexibility to incrementally increase the number of Earth-fixed cells that are served, with minimal constraints on the relative locations of the cells on the Earth, by adding satellites of potentially greater complexity to the system. Backward compatibility with existing user terminals is achieved by maintaining the same satellite communication interface as with the already-deployed satellite constellation. Continuous and/or non-continuous service may be provided to selected Earth-fixed cells. Scheduled non-continuous service is particularly advantageous for bulk data transport services. Satellites may use simple mechanically-steered antennas. Communication links may be handed from one satellite to another when one satellite moves out of range and is no longer able to cover a selected Earth-fixed cell.
    • 使用地球固定小区提供增量全球宽带服务的可扩展卫星数据通信系统可以从最初服务于有限数量的地球固定小区的有限卫星部署开始。 通过在系统中添加可能更大复杂度的卫星,该系统可以灵活地增加对所服务的地球固定小区的数量,对地球上的小区的相对位置的最小限制。 通过保持与已经部署的卫星星座相同的卫星通信接口来实现与现有用户终端的向后兼容性。 连续和/或非连续服务可以提供给选定的地球固定单元。 计划的非连续服务对于批量数据传输服务特别有利。 卫星可以使用简单的机械导向天线。 当一颗卫星移出超出范围并且不再能够覆盖选定的地球固定小区时,通信链路可以从一颗卫星传送到另一颗卫星。
