Claim 7:
8. A satellite communication network comprising:
at least one fractionated satellite comprising a plurality of satellites, each of the plurality of satellites comprising:
a relative orbit location and an absolute pointing direction,
an operating frequency and an available channel bandwidth, and
an antenna, wherein the antennas of the plurality of satellites form a phased array,

a plurality of user equipment on a surface of the Earth, wherein the user equipment comprise a part of the communication network,
a plurality of uplink and downlink channels connecting the fractionated satellite to the plurality of user equipment, wherein one pair of uplink and downlink channels is dedicated to each user equipment, which is deemed the desired user equipment for that dedicated channel pair, and all other user equipment are deemed undesired user equipment for that dedicated channel pair,
wherein each dedicated channel pair uses the entire, available channel bandwidth, simultaneously, and
wherein the phased array antennas synthesize uplink and downlink antenna patterns, whose nulls are placed on undesired user equipment.
