FIELD: physics, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention is related to equipment of satellite communication. Satellites may support multiple areas that correspond to multiple satellite beams. Every satellite may support all areas in reverse direction, and every satellite may be assigned as primary satellite for one of multiple areas that correspond to one of multiple satellite beams. Every satellite may receive signals of reverse communication line that are sent, for instance, by mobile station, from any of areas. Every satellite may send received signals of reverse communication line, for instance, to base station or gateway, where signals may be combined to increase quality of signal. Mobile station receives signals of straight communication line from primary satellite and controls quality of signal from primary and secondary satellite. If quality of signal from primary satellite drops below threshold value, communication signal is transmitted to the secondary satellite.
EFFECT: diversion of communication by application of multiple satellites.
