Abstract
A LEO satellite communication system is in communication with a first setting satellite having a first field of view including a first plurality of cells, and a second rising satellite having a second field of view including a second plurality of cells. The first and second satellites have an overlapping field of view having an overlapping plurality of cells located therein. A first processing device has a first communication port communicating with a first cell of the first plurality of cells via said first antenna over a first beam, and a second communication port communicating with an overlapping cell of the overlapping plurality of cells via said second antenna over a second beam. Said first processing device switches from said first communication port to said second communication port in response to the first cell of the first plurality of cells moving into the overlapping field of view.
