ABSTRACT:
A satellite communication system for delivering simplex messages to subscribers comprises multiple Message Origination Controllers (MOCs), one or more Message Termination Controllers (MTCs), satellites, and geographically-diverse communication units. Messages destined for particular communication units are transmitted to the one or more MTCs. The one or more MTCs then schedule delivery of the messages to communication units by employing a blocked timing structure for delivery of the messages. The one or more MTCs transmit the scheduled messages to satellites which broadcast the messages to communication units at the scheduled time. Communication units are assigned specific timing blocks during which they monitor radio signals for messages directed to them. During non-assigned timing blocks, communication units remain in a low-power state.
