DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING SHAREABLE INFORMATION OVER SHARED-DATA TRANSFER CHANNELS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: communications engineering; satellite communication systems.

SUBSTANCE: list identifying plurality of shared data channels transmitting shareable information is generated in satellite communication system incorporating gateway and plurality of satellites moving in orbit so that they are not stationary relative to point on the Earth surface. This list may include information for each of plurality of shared data channels that identifies predetermined satellite, beam, frequency, and channel. List changes with time due to orbital movement of satellites. Proposed method also includes steps of shareable information transfer to geographical region through gateway over plurality of shared data channels and reception of shareable information over at least one of plurality of shared data channels by user terminal.

EFFECT: provision for transferring shareable information to group of users located within relatively small geographical area.
