Abstract
A method of space communication for IoT or equivalent services increases the number of terminals served on a space transmission resource while limiting the signaling used by the terminal. This limitation is obtained on the one hand by the allotting to each terminal of a logical beam, corresponding to a predetermined fixed geographical area wherein the terminal lies. This limitation is obtained on the other hand by management, centralized at the level of a central entity for connecting to the space network, of the association of the terminal with a logical beam and of the association of the resources bound for the logical attachment beam. A space telecommunications system implements a method of space communication. The method of space communication allows transparent switchover from a terrestrial system to the space system when the terrestrial system and the space system are integrated to a high degree, particularly at the level of the terminal.
