Abstract
A system can communicate, by a satellite, with a user equipment according to a defined wireless communication protocol, and receive a radio-frequency communication from the user equipment via a satellite service link. The system can perform a programmable band-pass filter on the radio-frequency communication to produce a filtered communication. The system can perform an analog-to-digital conversion on the filtered communication to produce a digital communication. The system can create a packet header for the digital communication. The system can encapsulate the digital communication with the packet header to produce an encapsulated digital communication. The system can transmit the encapsulated digital communication to a first next-hop satellite via an inter-satellite link, wherein the inter-satellite link comprises a communication mode, and wherein the first next-hop satellite is configured to transmit the encapsulated digital communication to the terrestrial base station or to a second next-hop satellite.
