ABSTRACT:
A method for integrating coverage areas of multiple transponder platforms includes the step of arranging a plurality of coverage areas in a cluster wherein each of the plurality of coverage areas is assigned a color that differs from that of every other coverage area in a same cluster and wherein each of the plurality of coverage areas overlaps at least one other coverage area in the same cluster for maximizing utilization of multiple system resources.
