Abstract

A method for allocating radio resources for setting up satellite communications in a first communication system comprising a constellation of non-GSO satellites and a first set of terminals, the method comprises the following steps, for each terminal of the first set: determining a distinct separation angle threshold to be observed with respect to a constellation of geostationary satellites, a separation angle being defined as the smallest topocentric angle by which a given non-GSO satellite and any geostationary satellite of the geostationary arc are seen from a given terminal of the first set, authorizing the terminal to set up a communication link with a non-GSO satellite if the separation angle associated with the link is greater than or equal to the separation angle threshold.
