In some embodiments, a communications system can include a plurality of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites deployed at different altitudes and configured to communicate with one or more terrestrial devices and with one another. The communications system may further include a plurality of geosynchronous (GEO) satellites deployed above the plurality of LEO satellites. The plurality of LEO satellites may cooperate with one another and with the plurality of GEO satellites to provide a global communication network having redundant point-to-point communication.

A method performed by a ground station antenna system for tracking a non-Geo satellite. A signal is received from the satellite and a signal quality metric associated with the signal is estimated. A first tracking mode is selected and implemented when the estimated signal quality metric is below a threshold, in which the signal is demodulated to obtain demodulated signal quality metric (DSQM) estimates, and then a first tracking operation is performed to point an antenna beam at the satellite based on the DSQM estimates. A second tracking mode is selected and implemented when the estimated signal quality metric is above the threshold, in which signal strength estimates of the signal are obtained and then a second tracking operation is performed to point the antenna beam at the satellite based at least in part on the signal strength estimates.

The application discloses a satellite-based time service method and device, electronic equipment and storage medium, comprising: receiving a short message signal of a geosynchronous satellite, the short message signal comprising an uplink time delay of a standard time sent by a ground control center to the geosynchronous satellite; receiving a navigation message of the geosynchronous satellite and obtaining a correction parameter of coordinated universal time from the navigation message; calculating a downlink time delay of the geosynchronous satellite to a time service device based on the uplink time delay; calculating a local time of the time service device by using the standard time, the uplink time delay, the correction parameter and the downlink time delay; and performing time service by using the local time, without positioning the time service device to calculate the downlink time delay, and without occupying the calculation resources of the ground control center, compared with the prior art, the time service time is shortened, the influence of the calculated position on the time service precision is reduced, and the time service speed and precision are improved.

The present application relates to the technical field of communications. Disclosed are communication methods, a satellite system, an electronic device and a storage medium. In a communication method disclosed in the present application, when a first server has received a domain name resolution request sent by a terminal device, if the first server stores a first IP address corresponding to a first domain name in the domain name resolution request, the first IP address can be directly returned to the terminal device; and when the first server does not store the first IP address corresponding to the first domain name, the domain name resolution request is forwarded to a local domain name server by means of a second server deployed in a geostationary earth orbit satellite, and the first IP address is acquired from the local domain name server by means of the second server. In this way, satellite communication resources can be effectively saved, and the situation of network access failure of a terminal device can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

Disclosed embodiments relate satellites using a Software-Defined Radio (“SDR”) system. In one example, a geostationary (GEO) satellite includes an antenna system including multiple antennas, each configured to provide a spot beam having an adjustable throughput for a terrestrial coverage area while the antenna is in an active state and the satellite is in orbit above the Earth, a front-end subsystem communicatively coupled to the antenna system having an input side including an input filter and an analog-to-digital converter, and an output side including an output filter and a digital-to-analog converter, and a software defined radio (“SDR”) communicatively coupled to the antenna system via the front-end subsystem. The SDR, in response to a surge modification request, modifies a throughput of each active antenna by increasing or decreasing a share of a satellite power budget allotted to the antenna by deactivating or activating a previously active or previously inactive antenna, respectively.

Many satellites comprising a constellation are arranged in non-geosynchronous orbits (NGSO) forming a regular lattice arrangement in terms of right ascension ascending node (RAAN) and mean anomaly (M), with the orbital parameters specified by the position in the lattice. A set of satellites form a traffic lane having a nonzero RAAN / M slope. Lattice arrangements may be determined based on operational parameters such as antenna pattern beamwidth. The regular lattice may be configured such that adjacent satellites in each lane provide coverage for areas that are subject to interference exclusion limitations. For example, to prevent interference between an NGSO satellite and the geosynchronous satellite's service, the NGSO satellite is prohibited from transmitting towards a ground terminal that may be looking towards the geosynchronous satellite. The regular lattice may also be configured such that lanes in the regular lattice provide coverage for at least a portion of exclusion areas in adjacent lanes.

Provided are a method for sharing a radio spectrum with high-orbit communication satellites, which comprise a geosynchronous satellite and operate in a near-equatorial orbit, on the basis of a beam co
