Abstract
A downlink frame processing system () includes a packet switch () routing self addressed uplink data () from an input port to an output port, a memory () coupled to the output port, and a downlink scheduler () coupled to the memory (). The memory () includes storage for at least two downlink beam hop locations (). The downlink scheduler () processes from one of a plurality of segments at least one scheduling entry () that includes, for example, a header field () defining at least one of a payload and frame type () for at least one of a payload and frame () to be transmitted, and payload data pointers () into the memory ().
