Abstract:
Techniques, systems, devices, and methods for utilizing a mobile communicator for communicating with multiple satellites, e.g., simultaneously over an interval of time, are disclosed. The mobile communicator is disposed on a vehicle, and the multiple satellites may be disposed in different satellite constellations operating in different orbits. The mobile communicator establishes multiple communication links to the multiple satellites by utilizing only the set of antenna resources provided by a single antenna platform or array. Subsets of the antenna resources are dynamically apportioned and adapted, e.g., while the vehicle travels, to establish and maintain different communication links to different satellites via different spatial channels and their respective air interfaces to thereby maintain optimal satellite communicative connectivity. On-board connectivity services for personal electronic devices and/or other on-board applications may be supported by the disclosed techniques.
