  • the information transmitted by the satellite on this control channel carrier frequency can be used to provide a location area identification for the respective spotbeam, carrier frequencies for traffic channels for the respective spot beam, synchronization information, and other information used by a user terminal to establish and maintain radiotelephone service within the spot beam.
  • the control channel carrier information can also be used to identify carrier frequencies of control channels for neighboring spotbeams which may be overlapping with, adjacent to, or near the spotbeam.
  • the user terminal Before a user terminal can initiate or receive a radiotelephone call, the user terminal must first identify the control channel carrier frequency for a spotbeam within which the radiotelephone is located. Using the information received in the spotbeam, the radiotelephone can then register for service within that spotbeam, and/or receive incoming calls. When a radiotelephone is turned on, however, the spotbeam within which the radiotelephone is located may not be known. Accordingly, it may be necessary to search for a control channel carrier frequency to identify the spotbeam within which the radiotelephone is located. In a satellite radiotelephone system in particular, this search for a control channel carrier frequency may be time consuming because of the signal strengths and delays, thus delaying service.
  • the user terminal may include memory to save a list of the control channel carrier frequencies for the last three spotbeams within which service was obtained by the user terminal.
  • the user terminal can thus check these control channel carrier frequencies first thereby increasing the probability of finding the desired control channel carrier frequency quickly. In other words, it is assumed that the user terminal is likely to be in a spotbeam that has been recently used.
  • the three most recently used control channel carrier frequencies can be saved in user terminal memory.
  • a power profile can be sequentially performed for each of the three control channel carrier frequencies most recently used. Power profiling includes measuring the carrier frequency for the averaged power received at the user terminal.
  • the first control channel carrier frequency with a power profile at or above a predetermined level likely to allowed advantaged service is selected.
  • Advantaged service means that the radiotelephone can both receive from the satellite and transmit to the satellite. If none of the carrier frequencies has a profile at or above the predetermined level likely to allow advantaged service, the user terminal can proceed with a search for a control channel carrier frequency of a spotbeam providing disadvantaged service where the user terminal may be unable to transmit to the satellite.
  • the user terminal can then attempt synchronization with the selected control channel carrier frequency.
  • the synchronization can be performed in two steps using a high margin synchronization channel on the selected control channel carrier frequency. If this synchronization is successful, the user terminal attempts to read synchronization data on a normal margin synchronization channel of the carrier frequency. If the synchronization data is successfully read, the user terminal proceeds to read the location area identification from a broadcast control channel on the control channel carrier frequency. Otherwise, the user terminal can proceed with a search for a carrier frequency providing disadvantaged service.
  • the user terminal can provide communications with the satellite communications system using the selected control channel carrier frequency.
  • This method may not guarantee that the optimum control channel carrier frequency is selected at this point. Accordingly, a user terminal may continue with a process of spotbeam reselection wherein control channel carrier frequencies for neighboring spotbeams are monitored after establishing service. If better service can be provided in a neighboring spotbeam, known spotbeam reselection techniques may take as long as five minutes to select the new control channel carrier frequency and re-establish service.
  • the user terminal discussed above may have most recently visited spotbeams A, B, and C in that order, and presently be in a region covered by spotbeams B and D with spotbeam D providing the better service.

  • the user terminal may be unable to return transmissions using spotbeam B so that attempts to register with spotbeam B will fail.
  • the user terminal registration information may thus be erased so that the user terminal will be unable to receive pages until the reselection process selects spotbeam D.

  • the step of selecting the preferred control channel can include measuring a received signal strength at the user terminal for each of the initial control channel and the neighbor control channels, and selecting from the initial control channel and the neighbor control channels based on the control channel having the highest received signal strength.
  • the step of selecting the initial control channel can include selecting the initial control channel from a group of control channels previously used by the user terminal.

  • a geographic area serviced by the satellite 11 can be divided into a plurality of overlapping spotbeams 17A-J, and control information is transmitted to user terminals in each spotbeam using a respective control channel carrier frequency.
