Abstract

A method is provided for dynamically allocating the radio resources of a satellite and a very high throughput satellite system configured to implement this method. The method of allocation is executed by a piece of ground equipment called a Radio Resource Manager. The method of allocation according to the invention, allocates dynamically in time frequency resources to each spot of the multibeam coverage in accord with the conditions of propagation of the radio signals (in particular the attenuations due to bad weather) prevailing in the spots, with the current and future spot data traffic profile, with the level of interference generated in the neighbouring beams. The method preferentially applies in respect of downgoing forward links, that is to say from the satellite to the user terminals.
