Abstract

A satellite communications system provides for handovers between spot beams, including communicating (at a ground based terminal) with a non-geostationary satellite constellation using a first spot beam of the non-geostationary satellite constellation and a first beam hopping plan. The ground based terminal changes the communicating with the non-geostationary satellite constellation to use a second spot beam of the non-geostationary satellite constellation and a second beam hopping plan.
