Abstract:
The described features generally relate to determining dynamic signal quality criteria for an installation of satellite terminals for communications in a satellite communications system. In particular, the signal quality criteria for an installation may be based on an identified position of the satellite terminal to be installed, and in some examples based on the positions and signal characteristics of neighboring satellite terminals that have already been installed. In some examples, a signal quality map may be generated for a service beam coverage area, based on predetermined transmission characteristics and/or measured transmissions from a number of satellite terminals served by a communications satellite. The generated signal quality map may then be used to determine a signal quality threshold for the installation of a satellite terminal being installed for communications in a satellite communications system.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for use at one or more devices in a satellite communication system, comprising:\n receiving, at a first device of the satellite communication system, position information and signal quality information associated with a plurality of satellite terminals served by a target satellite of the satellite communication system, wherein the position information corresponds to positions of the plurality of satellite terminals, and the signal quality information corresponds to signal quality measurements of transmissions between the plurality of satellite terminals and the target satellite; constructing, by the first device, a signal quality map based at least in part on the received position information and the received signal quality information; and using the constructed signal quality map during an installation procedure of a satellite terminal to be served by the target satellite to determine whether the installation procedure is successful.
