Frequency and timing synchronization and error correction in a satellite network

摘要

An outgoing transmission carrier frequency at, for example, a remote terminal, may be adjusted based on a feature rate of an incoming transmission. The adjustment may compensate for error in the outgoing transmission carrier frequency. The incoming transmission may be from a satellite or hub, for example. The outgoing transmission may be the signal that is transmitted by an antenna, or the outgoing transmission may be converted to be at another carrier frequency such as a higher carrier frequency for ultimate transmission by an antenna. Also, a remote terminal may be synchronized to a satellite network with or without knowledge of the remote terminals' geographical location and with or without time stamps.
