ABSTRACT:
A satellite cellular communications network performs cell-to-cell handoffs between cells of different satellites (30, 32). Inter-satellite handoffs require resynchronization to the prospective propagation timing and Doppler frequency parameters of the prospective satellite. Calculation of these parameters prior to transitioning to the prospective satellite minimizes interruptions to communications. Subscriber units (24) perform handoff parameter calculations while on narrow band communications channels without occupying broadband shared acquisition resources.
