<p>A method for communication includes, in a first earth station (28A) that transmits signals to a second earth station (28B) via a first satellite (24A), initiating a handover from the first satellite to a second satellite (24B) by transmitting the signals via both the first satellite and the second satellite, including transmitting a handover command and a synchronization signal. The handover command is received in the second earth station via the first satellite. In response to the handover command, a switch is made to receive the signals via the second satellite and synchronize to the signal received via the second satellite using the synchronization signal.</p> |
