Abstract
Systems and methods for a satellite communication system include identifying highly active terminals (HUTs) in a spot beam of a satellite; determining a first ratio of single-band HUTs that operate in a first frequency band only to multi-band HUTs that operate in the first frequency band and a second frequency band; and determining a second ratio of outroutes for the first frequency band to outroutes for the second frequency band. When the first ratio is less than the second ratio, a first step of balancing the single-band HUTs across the outroutes for the first frequency band is performed, and then the multi-band HUTs are balanced across both the outroutes for the first frequency band and the outroutes for the second frequency band. When the first ratio is greater than the second ratio, the single-band HUTs and the multi-band HUTs are allocated based on at least one weight factor.
