Abstract
Systems and methods for outroute load balancing in a multi-band hybrid satellite communication system include comparing the load metric of each of code rate organizers (CROs) to a threshold value; placing each CRO in one of a surplus load balancing set and a deficit balancing set based on a value of the load metric; and determining a probability metric for each satellite terminal associated with each of the CROs in the surplus load balancing set. The probability metric indicates a probability of the terminal moving to one of the CROs in the deficit load balancing set. At least one satellite terminal associated with one of the CROs in the surplus load balancing set is then caused to switch to one of the CROs in the deficit load balancing set based on the probability metric of the at least one satellite terminal.
