FIELD: communications engineering.
SUBSTANCE: proposed system has user terminal, gateway, and plurality of beam sources radiating plurality of beams, communication line between user terminal and gateway being set for one or more beams. Proposed method is based on protocol of message exchange between gateway and user. Depending on messages sent from user to gateway, preferably on pre-chosen periodic basis, gateway determines most suited beam or beams to be transferred to user. Messages sent from user to gateway incorporate values which are, essentially, beam intensities measured at user's. Gateway uses beam intensities measured at user's to choose those of them suited to given user. Beams to be used are those capable of reducing rate of call failure and ensuring desired separation level of beam sources.
EFFECT: reduced rate of call failure in multibeam communication system.
