Claim 17:
18. The system of claim 15, the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
determine, at a different location of the satellite, a second DL/UL offset for a first group of the plurality of half-duplex user terminals, wherein the first group of the plurality of half-duplex user terminals comprises the user terminal of the plurality of half-duplex user terminals associated with the maximum round-trip propagation delay, and wherein the second DL/UL offset is less than the DL/UL offset; and
determine a transmit offset delay for transmitting a third downlink frame to the first group of the plurality of half-duplex user terminals, wherein the transmit offset delay comprises a different between the second DL/UL offset and the DL/UL offset.
