Two satellite communications systems can use the same frequency or frequencies in geographically overlapping footprints, without creating undue interference in a given system that is caused by the same frequency signal(s) that is/are used by the other system. In particular, an aggregate Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of the radioterminals and/or ancillary terrestrial components of a second satellite communications system in the common footprint is sufficiently low, and/or the receive antenna gain of a first satellite communications system is sufficiently low compared to the receive antenna gain of the second satellite communications system, so as to increase an aggregate receiver noise that is seen by the first satellite system receivers by an amount that does not substantially change a Quality of Service (QoS) of the first satellite communications system.
A frequency sharing system comprising:
A frequency sharing system comprising:
A frequency sharing method for a first satellite that communicates with first radioterminals over a global beam using frequencies of a frequency band in a first service region, the method comprising:
A frequency sharing method for a plurality of first radioterminals that communicate with a first satellite over a global beam using frequencies of a frequency band in a service region at a first aggregate effective isotropic radiated power, the method comprising:
