Abstract:
The disclosure provides for the flexible assignment of user beams to gateway beams in digital payload satellite systems. A “virtual beam”—a set of data values associating a physical user satellite beam with a Gateway Earth Station (“GW”) and used by the GW to service the physical user satellite beam, may be created or defined each time a physical user satellite beam is assigned to a GW. For one physical user beam, a plurality of virtual beams may be created, where each virtual beam corresponds to a GW. The virtual beams may be used to provide for the flexible assignment of user beams to gateway beams in a variety of applications such as GW expansion, physical user beam reassignment from one GW to another GW, diversity operation of terminals, and GW redundancy.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the configured virtual beam comprises a plurality of virtual beam parameters, the plurality of virtual beam parameters comprising two or more of: a number and size of inroute and outroute frequency channels, gateway beam and user beam spectrum assignments for inroute and outroute frequency channels, a subscription configuration of virtual network operators (VNOs) served by the physical spot beam, subscription service plans assigned to each of the plurality of terminals, IP addresses assigned to each of the plurality of terminals, and transmission power and timing correction values associated with each of the plurality of terminals.
