ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for operating a first satellite communications system of a type that operates co-frequency with at least one second transmission system, such as a second satellite communications system. The method includes steps, executed during the operation of the first satellite communications system, of measuring at a plurality of locations within a coverage area of the first system an amount of interference resulting at least in part from the at least one second transmission system, the amount of interference being measured over a band of frequencies allocated to the first system; (b) transmitting an indication of the measured interference from each location to a central site; and (c) in accordance with the transmitted indications, assigning at least one user terminal to a sub-band of frequencies within the band of frequencies so as to reduce an amount of interference experienced by the user terminal.
