Abstract:
Arrangements for optimizing bandwidth of a satellite communication link are presented. A first satellite gateway system may transmit a first data set to a satellite to be relayed by the satellite to a first instance of user equipment. A second satellite gateway system may transmit a second data set to the satellite to be relayed by the satellite to a second instance of user equipment. A satellite gateway management system may determine that the second satellite gateway system has greater available bandwidth. The satellite gateway management system may route a third data set to be transmitted to the first instance of user equipment to the second satellite gateway system. The second satellite gateway system may transmit the third data set and beam steering data to the satellite, such that the satellite targets a downlink spot beam on the first instance of user equipment.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for optimizing bandwidth of a satellite communication link, the method comprising:\n transmitting, by a first satellite gateway system, a first data set to a satellite to be relayed by the satellite to a first instance of user equipment, wherein the first instance of user equipment is located within a first geographical region serviced by the first satellite gateway system; transmitting, by a second satellite gateway system, a second data set to the satellite to be relayed by the satellite to a second instance of user equipment, wherein:\n the second instance of user equipment is located within a second geographical region serviced by the second satellite gateway system; \n the first satellite gateway system and the second satellite gateway system use a same frequency to transmit data to the satellite; and \n the first satellite gateway system and the second satellite gateway system are geographically separated; \n determining, by a satellite gateway management system, that the second satellite gateway system has greater available bandwidth than the first satellite gateway system; \n routing, by the satellite gateway management system, a third data set to be transmitted to the first instance of user equipment to the second satellite gateway system; \n transmitting, by the second satellite gateway system, beam steering data and the third data set to the satellite to be relayed by the satellite to the first instance of user equipment, such that the satellite targets a downlink spot beam on the first instance of user equipment based on the beam steering data transmitted with the third data set, wherein:\n the downlink spot beam is used to transmit the third data set to the first instance of user equipment located within the first geographical region; and \n the beam steering data comprises electronic antenna configuration settings that adjust a radiation pattern of an antenna of the satellite; and \n \n updating, by the satellite, a locally-stored routing table to link the first instance of user equipment to the second satellite gateway system in response to receiving the third data set and the beam steering data from the second satellite gateway system, wherein: \n based on the first instance of user equipment being linked to the second satellite gateway system, routing uplink data from the first instance of user equipment to the second satellite gateway system.
