Abstract:
Approaches for efficient, dynamic and continuous handover processes, which encompass selection of an optimal path (consisting of a satellite, a satellite beam and carrier frequency set) over which a mobile user terminal (UT) communicates with the radio access network in a mobile satellite communications system, are provided. A set of path factors are determined regarding each of a plurality of communications paths for the UT. A path selection metric (PSM) for each communications path is determined, wherein the PSM for each communications path is determined via a weighted calculation based on the respective set of path factors for the communications path. A decision is made as to whether to perform a handover of the UT from a first of the communications paths to a second of the communications paths, wherein the determination is based on an evaluation performed based at least in part on the PSM.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n determining a set of path factors regarding each of a plurality of communications paths for a mobile user terminal (UT) in a mobile satellite communications system; determining a path selection metric (PSM) for each communications path, wherein the PSM for each communications path is determined via a weighted calculation based on the respective set of path factors for the communications path; and determining whether to perform a handover of the UT from a first of the communications paths to a second of the communications paths, wherein the determination is based on an evaluation performed based at least in part on the PSM.
