ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING TERRESTRIALLY REUSED SATELLITE FREQUENCIES TO REDUCE POTENTIAL INTERFERENCE

摘要

Satellite radiotelephone system includes a space-based component (110), an ancillary terrestrial network, a monitor and a controller. The space-based component is configured to wirelessly communicate with radiotelephones (120a, 120b) in a satellite footprint over a satellite radiotelephone frequency band (fD, fU). The satellite footprint is divided into satellite cells in which subsets of the satellite radiotelephone frequency band are spatially reused in a spatial reuse pattern. The ancillary terrestrial network is configured to wirelessly communicate with radiotelephones in the satellite footprint over at least some of the satellite radiotelephone frequency band, to thereby terrestrially reuse the at least some of the satellite radiotelephone frequency band.
