Embodiment Construction

[0025] The detailed description set forth below in connection with the accompanying drawings is intended as a description of various configurations and is not intended to represent the only configurations in which the concepts described herein may be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of various concepts. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and components are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the concepts.

[0026] The presented aspects relate generally to communications in non-geosynchronous orbit (NGSO) satellite networks.

[0027] see figure 1, shows a non-geosynchronous orbit (NGSO) or low earth orbit (LEO) satellite network 100 that facilitates communications for providing broadband Internet access services to homes and / or businesses. In on...

Abstract

The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for communications in a non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite network. For example, the method may include receiving data, at a relay node, from a first NGSO satellite of the NGSO satellite network, wherein the relay node is located at a boundary or a common beam area associated with the first satellite and a second satellite of the NGSO satellite network, and wherein the data is received at the relay node in response to identifying by the first NGSO satellite that an internet point of presence (IPP) is not available in at least one of a plurality of beams associated with the first NGSO satellite, and relaying the data from the relay node to a second NGSO satellite of the NGSO satellite network, wherein an IPP is available in at least one of a plurality of beams associated with the second NGSO satellite. As such, communications in a non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite network may be achieved.

Description

[0001] priority statement [0002] This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Nonprovisional Application No. 14 / 224,941, filed March 25, 2014, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Improved Non-Geostationary Communications," and filed September 6, 2013, entitled " Priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 874,459 for Efficient Non-Geo Stationary-Orbit (NGSO) Satellite System for Broadband Internet Access", which applications have been assigned to the assignee of the present application and are hereby incorporated by reference is expressly incorporated herein. Background technique [0003] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to satellite communication systems, and more particularly, to non-geosynchronous orbit (NGSO) satellite systems. [0004] An NGSO satellite may have multiple beams covering its footprint. The number of beams can be chosen such that the coverage area is large enough to have an Internet Point of Presence (IPP) somewhere in t...
