Abstract

A satellite based cellular communications system () for servicing multiple user terminals () is provided. The satellite based cellular communications system () includes at least one processing communications satellite () which supports communications uplinks () and communications downlinks () between multiple user terminals (). A network operations center () having a central control processor () communicates with the processing communication satellite () on the communications uplinks () and the communications downlinks (). The central control processor () minimizes intra-system interference between the multiple user terminals () by allocating a connection parameter to each user terminal () based upon accessing a plurality of communication system parameters.
