<p>A method of managing satellite resources for multi-beam satellites in a satellite mobile telephone system, where each region of the Earth's surface can be covered by a number of beams from different satellites, when a single beam would be sufficient to provide the desired level of service. By re-allocating the channel capacity from the non-essential overlapping beams in areas of low traffic demand, such as ocean or desert regions, to beams covering regions having a higher traffic demand, a more efficient overall service can be provided.</p> |
