Community (also referred to as " Femto cell ") is usually corresponding to the most undersized community of home dwelling size, here it is prefix
The reason of " femto ".It enables an operator to generally according to the individual facility being connected to the Internet via broadband cabled link,
Provide a user with some extra coverages.Above-mentioned former for the terminal 36,40,44,46 operated in satellite mode
Because of similar reason, building relay station 104 (in itself, outside any terrestrial base station scope) is suitable to independently exist
Reversely send radio signal and/or from satellite reception radio on forward direction downlink 110 to satellite in up-link 108
Signal, wherein, this satellite is within view (in this article, for satellite 18).Therefore, communication service terminal 48 is suitable to via relay station
104 will send radio signal to satellite 18 and/or receive radio signal from satellite 18.
In this article, the Xi Kemo that the constellation 22 of satellite 16,18,20 is e.g. made up of three satellites 16,18,20
(Sycomores) constellation of type, these three satellite 16,18,20 continues and is the track of mutual phase shift, therefore defends for one
It is positioned at the sight line of land coverage area star-wheel stream, at any point in this region, the minimum that can ensure at height
Satellite is seen at the elevation angle.It is (such as, attached at+45 degree corresponding to Europe that this constellation is particularly suitable for being positioned at temperate regions latitude
In the latitude in the near Northern Hemisphere) regional coverage range areas.Leading to about mobile in the 4th international conference of IEEE in 1988
Entitled " the A new concept write by D.Rouffet et al. in the 138-142 page of the satellite system of letter and navigation
For land mobile satellite communications " article Zhong Miao Shuliao Xi Kemo type constellation.
Or, the track of satellite is included in following group: geostationary orbit (GEO), tundra (Toundra) or lightning
