Abstract
Mobile stations correct their frequencies using a signal received from the moving relay station including correction of any Doppler shift caused by the satellite's movement. The mobile station includes a receiver for receiving a paging channel signal broadcast by the moving relay station and demodulators and decoders for decoding the information in the paging channel signal. Using the decoded information, the mobile station can determine an estimate of its position within the communication system. The mobile station can also determine a frequency error and a Doppler shift using the decoded information and the position estimate. A frequency controlling signal is determined using the determined frequency error and the Doppler shift. A controlled reference oscillator then uses the frequency correcting signal as a control input signal. Finally, the mobile station contains a transmitter for transmitting a signal using the voltage controlled oscillator as a reference.
