Abstract:
A method for shifting communications of a terminal located on a moving platform from a first satellite beam to a second satellite beam comprises determining a time for initiation of a beam shift from the first satellite beam to the second satellite beam; executing a first beam shift from the first satellite beam to the second satellite beam; and executing a second beam shift from the first satellite beam to the second satellite beam, wherein the first and second beam shifts are performed using a switch matrix.

Claim (Index 6):
A system for automated shifting of a communications signal of a terminal located on a moving platform from a first satellite beam to a second satellite beam, the system comprising:\n a. an uplink switch in the satellite for receipt of the communications signal transmitted from the terminal, the uplink switch comprising:\n (i) a regenerative payload comprising at least one demodulator for extracting information received in the satellites, and an on-board processor for processing data; and \n (ii) a switch matrix and/or a channelizer for switching an uplink data channel from the first satellite beam to the second satellite beam upon receipt of a switch command; \n b. a downlink switch for transmission of communications comprising:\n (i) a regenerative payload comprising at least one modulator for encoding a data signal to be sent from the satellites, and an on-board processor for processing data; \n (ii) a switch matrix and/or a channelizer for switching a downlink data channel from the first channel to the second channel; and \n (iii) at least two demodulators with a corresponding switch functionality in the terminal; and \n c. a computer configured with computer instructions for determining optimal time for beam shift execution.
