Communication Scheduler - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18748041 titled 'Communication Scheduler
The communications system described in the patent application involves user equipment (UE) devices, communications satellites, gateways, and a terrestrial network.
- UE devices receive broadcast signals from the constellation and transmit registration requests to the gateways via the satellites in response to the broadcast signals.
- The registration requests include information identifying the geographic locations of the UE devices and two-line element (TLE) identifiers.
- A scheduler on the terrestrial network receives forward link traffic requests for the UE devices, each with a corresponding priority.
- The scheduler also receives satellite information that includes thermal constraints, position information, and power information associated with the satellites.
- Based on the forward link traffic requests, thermal constraints, TLE versions, geographic locations, and priorities, the scheduler generates forward link traffic grants for the UE devices.
Potential Applications: - Satellite communication systems - Mobile communication networks - Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems Solved: - Efficient allocation of resources in satellite communication systems - Improved communication reliability for UE devices - Enhanced network performance and capacity
Benefits: - Enhanced communication coverage in remote areas - Optimized resource allocation for better network efficiency - Improved user experience with reliable communication services
Commercial Applications: Title: Satellite Communication System Optimization for IoT Devices This technology can be applied in satellite communication systems for IoT devices, mobile networks, and other communication applications. It can benefit companies in the telecommunications, IoT, and satellite communication industries by improving network performance and efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted
A communications system may include user equipment (UE) devices, communications satellites, gateways, and a terrestrial network. The UE devices may receive broadcast signals from the constellation. The UE devices may transmit registration requests to the gateways via the satellites in response to the broadcast signals. The registration requests may include information identifying the geographic locations of the UE devices and may include two-line element (TLE) identifiers. A scheduler on the terrestrial network may receive forward link traffic requests for the UE devices, each with a corresponding priority. The scheduler may also receive satellite information that includes thermal constraints, position information, and power information associated with the satellites. The scheduler may generate forward link traffic grants for the UE devices based on the forward link traffic requests, the thermal constraints, the TLE versions, the geographic locations, and the priorities.
