Abstract
A satellite communications network, methods of sending, receiving and repetition, and the associated items of equipment wherein the transmission of a signal between a sending station and a receiving station is relayed by a plurality of satellites visible in common to both these stations are provided. The position of the sending station, the receiving station and the satellites relaying the signal is known by at least one of these items of equipment, which is further configured to separate the signals relayed by the satellites, and to compute, for each of the signals, at least one shift introduced by the propagation of the signal, on the basis of the position of the sending station, of the receiving station, and of the satellite by which it is transmitted, and then to apply the inverse shifts to the signal.
