ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for communicating with a high-altitude communication platform (110) which combines multiple signals from multiple sources into one signal which is sent to a ground device (120). The ground device (120) can send a combined signal to the platform (110) which the platform (110) can then separate and send to multiple destinations. The ground device (120) also can provide spectral reuse by orienting directional antennas (360-362) toward the communication platform (110) and one or more spatially diverse other wireless devices.
