ABSTRACT:
A satellite communications system provides automatic channel assignment without employing a dedicated signalling channel. A major station detects carrier-free forward channels and transmits on each a forward signal. A minor station hunts all available forward channels to ascertain and then monitor a carrier-free forward channel, detects the major station's forward signal and transmits a response signal on the corresponding carrier-free return channel while temporarily inhibiting reception by the minor station of any other signal from any other major station. The major station monitors all carrier-free return channels and detects the response signal to establish a link.
