Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a point-to-multipoint or broadcast TDMA or FDMA satellite arrangement wherein each up-link message unit is intended for reception at one or more geographically dispersed remote receiving sites within a wide service area. In one arrangement of a TDMA or FDMA satellite, the up-link message units are received and each message unit is directed to a transponder and to one or more down-link antenna ports for concurrent transmission to each of the destinations receiving sites for such message. An alternative TDMA satellite arrangement provides for each up-link message unit to be temporarily stored during the receiving frame period and then transmitted in accordance with a predetermined frame format during the appropriate time segments of the subsequent frame period to all of the destinational receiving sites. A technique for providing such predetermined frame format is also disclosed.
