Appl. No.:

17/303939

Inventors:

Alasdair Bruce Calder - Gaithersburg MD, US
Michael E. Spytek - Saint Petersburg FL, US

International Classification:

H04B 7/185
H04B 7/06
H04B 10/2575
H04W 88/16
H04W 80/08
H04L 27/26

Abstract:

A satellite system uses cloud computing virtualized gateways, radio transport protocol and on-ground beamforming to improve wireless communication. A digitized ground based subsystem for use with the satellite system can be employed in transmitting an optical feeder uplink beam to a communications platform that includes a multiple element antenna array. The ground based subsystem is configured to receive the optical feeder uplink beam and, in dependence thereon, use the multiple element antenna feed array to produce and transmit a plurality of RF service downlink beams to a single or plurality of service terminals.
