Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for utilizing an operating schedule to place a satellite communication device in a sleep state for reducing power consumption in the satellite communication device during periods of time when no satellite is available to communicate with the satellite communication device. The operating schedule, which can be a wake-up schedule and/or a sleep schedule, is dynamically updated by a scheduling server that receives two-line element (TLE) data from a TLE server on a recurring basis and uses the TLE data to determine timing information pertaining to line-of-sight visibility of one or more satellites to the satellite communication device. A push routine is then used by the scheduling server to periodically push the timing information to the satellite communication device for dynamically updating the operating schedule of the satellite communication device.
