Claim 14:
15. A transceiver for a satellite communications network having a plurality of cells employing a pre-scheduled beam hopping time plan having different dwell times for cells of the plurality of cells, which transceiver is configured to:
transmit and/or receive superframes comprising payload capacity units and dummy symbols and having variable lengths, by determining:
a number of payload capacity units (P) in a superframe, according to a dwell time for transmission of said superframe and according to a beam switching time;
a number of dummy symbols (D), according to said beam switching time by multiplying said beam switching time by said symbol rate, according to the following relationship equation:

D=(said dwell time)*(said symbol rate)−(said header length)−(said capacity unit size)*said number of payload units (P).
