Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and other techniques for handling timing in a satellite communication system having a gateway and a terminal. PDUs to be transmitted are received at the gateway. A traffic adapter computes a release time at which a baseband frame containing the PDUs is to be released. The traffic adapter generates the baseband frame containing the PDUs and a timing packet including a reference time. The traffic adapter tags the release time to the baseband frame. A virtual transmitter modulates the baseband frame, generates a digital IF packet containing the modulated baseband frame, and inserts the release time into a header of the digital IF packet. A digitizer releases the modulated baseband frame at the release time for transmission to the terminal via a satellite.
