Mixed reuse of feeder link and user link bandwidth

摘要

An apparatus and method for a wireless communication system in which a forward/uplink portion and a return/uplink portion are assigned within an available frequency bandwidth is disclosed. More particularly, a service area is divided into multiple regions. The assignment of the forward/uplink portion of the return/uplink portion is shuffled in the multiple regions. The apparatus and method may be implemented in a multi-beam wireless communication system.
