Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for doubling the capacity of a satellite communication system providing interactive two-way communications with a single one-way communication channel where two parties are utilizing earth stations located within a single satellite beam. Since in voice, facsimile and other types of communications only one user is usually transmitting at a time, a single one-way communication channel can be alternated between two or more users. Multiple users can thus share a single one-way channel since both earth stations are located within a single satellite beam, and therefore are effectively at both ends of the one-way channel.
