Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for dynamic inroute reconfiguration. A set of factors is selected for use in reconfiguring inroutes in a satellite communication system. A state is defined to represent inroute layouts based on the set of factors. A metric is determined and optimized to obtain a new state representative of a desired inroute layout. The inroute layouts of the satellite communication system are reconfigured to correspond with the inroute layouts represented by the new state.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining a set of factors for use in reconfiguring inroutes in a satellite communication system;
- defining a state representative of inroute layouts based on the set of factors;
- determining a metric for a current state representative of a current inroute layout;
- optimizing the metric by:
- performing a state search to identify a new state representative of a new inroute layout, and
- comparing a metric for the new state to a metric for a current or previous state until a convergence criteria is satisfied;
- and
- reconfiguring the inroute layouts of the satellite communication system to correspond with the inroute layouts represented by the new state.
