Abstract:
Embodiments provide in-flight configuration of satellite pathways to flexibly service terra-link and cross-link traffic in a constellation of non-processed satellites, for example, to facilitate flexible forward-channel and return-channel capacity in a satellite communications system. For example, each satellite in the constellation can include one or more dynamically configurable pathway, and switching and/or beamforming can be used to configure each pathway to be a forward-channel pathway or a return-channel pathway in each of a number of timeslots according to a pathway configuration schedule. At least some of the pathways can be further selectively configured, in each timeslot, to carry “terra-link” traffic to and/or from terrestrial terminals and “cross-link” traffic to and/or from one or more other satellites of the constellation.

Claim (Index 19):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the pathway configuration system comprises a receive switch to selectively couple a receive side of the pathway to one of a plurality of receive feeds of the antenna system in each of the plurality of timeslots, according to the pathway configuration schedule, to establish connectivity between the receive feed and a transmit feed coupled with a transmit side of the pathway, thereby sequentially configuring the pathway in each of the plurality of timeslots to form the signal path between the selected pair of spot beams according to the pathway configuration schedule.
