Abstract:
Process for exchanging telecommunication traffic in a telecommunication system, comprising a satellite communication network, made up from a number of telecommunication satellites in different orbits around the earth, which are functionally connected to one or more ground stations via radio transmission connections, which ground stations are mutually connected via a transmission connection, as well as a ground communication network made up from a number of fixed and mobile telecommunication networks, in which clusters of fixed and mobile telecommunication networks are functionally connected to ground stations of the satellite communication network and telecommunication traffic is exchanged by application of an addressing plan, in which an own unique address code is assigned to the satellite communication network, wherein a unique network address code added to the address code of the satellite communication network concerned is assigned to the mobile telecommunication systems, which are functionally connected to a ground station, in such a way that telecommunication traffic with a mobile telecommunication network is exchanged via a combination of the address code of the satellite communication network and the network address code of the mobile telecommunication network concerned via the mutually connected ground stations.
