TL;DR: In this paper, a system for reducing latency data collection from space-based sensor satellites is presented, where a relay satellite terminal is configured to execute data communications via a communications channel of a first satellite beam, wherein the data communications are configured to relay the sensor data, via satellites, to respective gateways for forwarding to a central processing facility for aggregation, processing, analysis and dissemination of the data.

TL;DR: A model to estimate aggregate system capacity as a function of radio band, available spectrum, spot beams, waveforms, and payload capability, including antenna size, power, and digital/analog connectivity across various links and availability objectives is described.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of path factors are determined regarding each of a plurality of communications paths for the mobile user terminal (UT) and a decision is made as to whether to perform a handover of the UT from a first of the communications paths to a second of the communication paths, wherein the determination is based on an evaluation performed based at least in part on the path selection metric (PSM).

TL;DR: In this article, a method for iterative estimation of a set of unknown channel parameters in a beamforming network including determining a first order estimate of offsets at measurement nodes and an estimate of the confidence in the initial estimate of measurement nodes' offsets is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a protocol architecture for a satellite system consisting of LEO/MEO satellites and MEO satellites, and a control plane protocol architecture optimized for satellite environment, which includes PHY, MAC, MAC/RLC, RRC and PDCP.
