Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a machine-readable medium with executable instructions that facilitate performance of operations by a processor including receiving a registration for a trajectory of a satellite; estimating a zone of occupancy at a future time for the satellite; determining an interference of the satellite from the zone of occupancy at the future time; determining a deconfliction for minimizing or eliminating the interference; and sending the deconfliction to a controller of the satellite. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- estimating a zone of occupancy for a satellite at a future time;
- determining an interference of the satellite from the zone of occupancy at the future time;
- determining a plurality of deconflictions for reducing the interference;
- selecting a deconfliction from the plurality of deconflictions based on a business rule;
- and
- sending the deconfliction to a controller of the satellite.
A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- estimating a zone of occupancy at a future time for a satellite;
- determining an interference of the satellite from the zone of occupancy at the future time;
- determining a plurality of deconflictions for reducing the interference;
- selecting a deconfliction from the plurality of deconflictions based on a business rule;
- and
- sending the deconfliction to a controller of the satellite.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processing system including a processor, an interference of a satellite in a zone of occupancy estimated for a future time;
- ascertaining, by the processing system, a plurality of deconflictions for minimizing or eliminating the interference;
- selecting, by the processing system, a deconfliction from the plurality of deconflictions based on a business rule;
- and
- sending the deconfliction to a controller of the satellite.
