Abstract

A user terminal is registered with a satellite communications system including a plurality of satellite spot beam transmitters; wherein each of the satellite spot beam transmitters defines a respective spot beam. A periodic oscillation of two adjacent satellite spot beam transmitters results in a change of geographic coverage for the respective adjacent spot beams so that the user terminal can be alternatingly covered by the first and second spot beams when the user terminal is stationary. Upon determining that the user terminal is alternatingly covered by the first and second spot beams, the user terminal is registered with a spot beam pair for both the first and second adjacent spot beams and the spot beam pair registration is stored in the user terminal memory. Communications operations between the user terminal and the satellite communications system may be terminated and later re-established, whereupon the user terminal reregisters with the spot beam pair registration stored in memory. Related user terminals are also discussed.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to systems and methods for satellite communications. Background of the invention [0002] The mobile communication system allows users to access the communication network through corresponding user terminals when moving within a geographical area. Some mobile communication systems divide this geographic area into a number of regions, each of which is covered by a part of the mobile communication system. Therefore, if the user moves from the first area to the second area in the geographical area where the service is obtained, the mobile communication system will stop providing service in the first area and start providing service in the second area, so as to Maintain user access. A user can use a user terminal to access the mobile communication system. [0003] Figure 1A illustrates a satellite system that provides communication services to user terminals 200 withi...
