Abstract

A method of communicating with satellites in a low-earth orbit (LEO) constellation includes determining, by a controller of a mobile communicator mounted on a mobile platform, one or more conditions corresponding to a plurality of spatial channels associated with multiple satellites in the LEO constellation. The method also includes allocating, based on the one or more conditions, each subset of a plurality of subsets of antenna resources of a phased array antenna to a respective different satellite included in the multiple satellites in the LEO constellation, where the antenna resources of the phased array antenna are communicatively connected to plurality of transceivers via a bus. The method also includes commanding the plurality of transceivers to establish simultaneous communicative connections to the different satellites via the allocated subsets of antenna resources.
