FIELD: telecommunications. SUBSTANCE: network of satellites provides information through duplex communication channels between separate satellites. Each satellite serves as terminal for multiple channels. All satellites are synchronized in order to provide constant duration of data packet structure. Each channel in network of satellites on both ends of this channel provides simultaneous data transmission to respective terminals of these channels using same frequency band. Communication in all channels of each satellite run simultaneously. Duration of transmission depends on distance between satellites. Transmission terminates for all channels of a satellite, when data transmitted from opposite nodes of channel cover almost complete distance between these satellites. Upon termination of communication, each satellite receives information which had been earlier transmitted from opposite satellites to these channels. EFFECT: elimination of deadlocks caused by full duplex mode, increased efficiency of communication, simplified design of adaptation to satellite operations. 11 cl, 8 dwg
