Abstract
Described herein are technologies that utilize full duplex gateway terminals in satellite networks with half duplex user equipment. The disclosed scheduling technologies incorporate the knowledge of the propagation delay between a gateway terminal and each UE in communication with the gateway terminal. Based on this propagation delay, a scheduler can allocate DL and UL time slots in a scheduling frame in a way that avoids allocating overlapping DL and UL time slots at each UE.
