Claim 14:
15. A method for scheduling sleep/wake intervals for one or more mobile communication devices, the method comprising:
generating a coverage prediction for the one or more mobile communication devices, the coverage prediction indicating a start and an end of at least one future interval during which one or more orbiting communication platforms are predicted to be within range of the one or more mobile communication devices;
generating at least one future sleep interval having a start and an end and at least one future wake interval having a start and an end to control the one or more mobile communication devices based on the coverage prediction;
sending indications of the sleep intervals and wake intervals to the one or more mobile communication devices; and
controlling sleep/wake of the one or more mobile communication devices in accordance with the sleep intervals and wake intervals.
