Abstract
A satellite communication device and a method therefor are disclosed. The satellite communication device includes a first processor that generates schedule data about a satellite communication asset, a second processor that is located on a mobile vehicle spaced apart from the first processor and generates a control signal based on the schedule data, and a mediator that dynamically switches a link between at least one antenna and at least one modem based on the control signal.
Claims32
A satellite communication device, comprising:
- a first processor configured to generate schedule data about a satellite communication asset;
- a second processor located on a mobile vehicle spaced apart from the first processor and configured to generate a control signal based on the schedule data;
- and
- a mediator configured to dynamically switch a link between at least one antenna and at least one modem based on the control signal,
- wherein the second processor is further configured to generate the control signal based on priorities for an orbit of the satellite and for a communication band, and
- wherein the mediator is further configured to:
- switch a first radio frequency (RF) link between a first antenna of the at least one antenna and a first modem of the at least one modem to a second RF link between the first antenna and a second modem of the at least one modem based on the control signal, or
- switch the first RF link to a third RF link between a second antenna of the at least one antenna and the first modem based on the control signal.
A satellite communication method, comprising:
- generating schedule data about a satellite communication asset;
- generating a control signal based on the schedule data, on a mobile vehicle spaced apart from a location where the schedule data is generated;
- and
- dynamically switching a link between at least one antenna and at least one modem based on the control signal,
- wherein generating the control signal comprises generating the control signal based on priorities for an orbit of the satellite and for a communication band, and
- wherein dynamically switching of the link comprises:
- switching a first radio frequency (RF) link between a first antenna of the at least one antenna and a first modem of the at least one modem to a second RF link between the first antenna and a second modem of the at least one modem based on the control signal, or
- switching the first RF link to a third RF link between a second antenna of the at least one antenna and the first modem based on the control signal.
