Abstract
Techniques for leveraging information from a first satellite network to improve communications with a second satellite network are described. According to some embodiments, an endpoint device in an LPWAN communicates with satellites in a GNSS as well as with satellites in another satellite network (e.g., an LPWAN satellite network). By communicating with the GNSS satellites, the endpoint device is able to determine one or more locations in the sky overhead that provide favorable (e.g., unobstructed) communication paths between the endpoint device and satellites in those locations. Then, using ephemeris data for both satellite constellations, the endpoint device determines a time when one or more satellites of the LPWAN satellite network will be in (or near to) one or more of those same locations. At the determined time, the endpoint device transmits data to be received by the one or more satellites of the LPWAN satellite network.
