Description

ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing global variable data rate connectivity in a satellite-based communications network includes a plurality of communications satellites for transmitting and receiving signals in a plurality of coverage areas. User terminals transmit and receive signals to and from the satellites. A set of the user terminals located in one of the coverage areas and associated with one of the communications satellites has a variable bandwidth associated therewith. The variable bandwidth is determined based on the collective bandwidth requirements of each of the user terminals in the set. Each of the user terminals may request a change in their bandwidth requirement independent of the variable bandwidth associated with the collective set of the user terminals.
