Abstract
Satellite-based communication systems and methods that substantially collocate multibeam satellites and allow for incremental addition of network capacity by launching additional substantially collocated satellites. Exemplary systems and methods comprise a plurality of substantially collocated multi-beam satellites that are launched and that are configured to provide beam coverage using substantially the same multibeam pattern of beams so that the beam coverage of both satellites is available for simultaneous use. A processor onboard each of the satellites configures the multibeam pattern of beams. The processor assigns a frequency and polarization to each beam based upon frequency re-use, system performance and capacity requirements, assigns overlapping bandwidth allocations within a beam, assigns bandwidth and power per bandwidth, and selectively adjusts beam capacity and power based on network traffic requirements.
