ABSTRACT:
In a satellite cellular communication system, subscriber traffic is shared between satellites whose antenna coverage patterns overlap during some portion of their orbit. When the power consumption of one satellite exceeds a predetermined level, subscriber units are transferred to cells of a second satellite whose antenna coverage pattern overlaps that of the first satellite. After the subscriber units are transferred, channel assignments are redone to prevent interference with subscriber units in other cells.
