Abstract
Systems are disclosed for a communication system optimized for low data volume communications. In embodiments of the invention, a terminal in the communication system is configured to communicate with a satellite and a terrestrial hub using the same communications architecture, such as an air interface. In embodiments of the invention, the terminal sends a burst comprising a message to network infrastructure at a pre-scheduled time such that the network infrastructure can derive a terminal identity for the terminal by the time of the burst without having to include terminal identity information in the message. The terminal can communicate with the network infrastructure either through the satellite or through the terrestrial hub.
