Low Performance Warning System And Method For Mobile Satellite Service User Terminals

View page
US Patent:
7142853, Nov 28, 2006
Filed:
May 1, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/846995
Inventors:
Robert A. Wiedeman - Sedalia CO, US
Prashant V. Waknis - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Globalstar, Inc. - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:
455427, 455428, 455429, 455421
Abstract:
A mobile satellite telecommunications system is disclosed comprising at least a user terminal and a satellite which is in earth orbit and at least a gateway bidirectionally coupled to a data communications network. The user terminal comprises a controller responsive to at least one criterion having been met for activating an indicator to inform a user of a potential for reduced user terminal performance.

On-Board Dns Service For A Satellite Isp System Using Non-Geosynchronous Orbit Satellites

View page
US Patent:
20020031102, Mar 14, 2002
Filed:
Apr 24, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/841357
Inventors:
Robert Wiedeman - Sedalia CO, US
Prashant Waknis - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
GLOBALSTAR L.P. - SAN JOSE CA
International Classification:
H04B007/185
H04L012/66
H04B007/212
US Classification:
370/316000, 370/349000, 370/352000
Abstract:
A method includes transmitting a Domain Name Service (DNS) query from a user terminal; receiving the DNS query with at least one satellite in earth orbit; and applying the DNS query to a DNS server that is on-board the at least one satellite to obtain a corresponding Internet Protocol (IP) address. The method further operates, in the event the DNS server is unable to obtain the corresponding IP address, to transmit the DNS query to another DNS server, which may be located in another satellite, such as a higher altitude satellite, or to a terrestrial DNS server, such as one at a gateway or one reachable through the Internet. The method further operates to update the DNS server database that is on-board the satellite with information received from a terrestrial DNS server and/or from a space-based DNS server. In a further method the user terminal transmits a message containing a Uniform Resource Locator (URL); the message is received with at least one satellite in earth orbit; and a processor of the satellite generates, in response to the URL, a DNS query to a DNS server that is on-board the at least one satellite to obtain a corresponding Internet Protocol (IP) address. In the event the DNS server is unable to obtain the corresponding IP address, the processor transmits the DNS query to another DNS server located on-board another satellite, or to a terrestrially-located DNS server. A further operation performed by the method forwards the message to an Internet destination server having an address that corresponds to the IP address.

User Terminal Employing Quality Of Service Path Determination And Bandwidth Saving Mode For A Satellite Isp System Using Non-Geosynchronous Orbit Satellites

US Patent:
20020031103, Mar 14, 2002
Filed:
Apr 25, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/841862
Inventors:
Robert Wiedeman - Sedalia CO, US
Prashant Waknis - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
GLOBALSTAR L.P. - SAN JOSE CA
International Classification:
H04B007/185
US Classification:
370/316000, 370/389000
Abstract:
Methods are provided for operating a mobile satellite telecommunications system, as is a system that operates in accordance with the methods. A first method has steps of providing at least one user terminal, at least one satellite in earth orbit and at least one gateway bidirectionally coupled to a data communications network and, responsive to applications, selecting with the user terminal individual ones of a plurality of Quality of Service (QoS) modes for servicing different application requirements. The method further includes communicating a request for a selected one of the QoS modes at least to the gateway. Another method operates in response to stored satellite ephemeris information for selecting a path through the satellite constellation to a destination gateway for routing a communication to or from the data communication network and the user terminal, and for transmitting a description of the selected path from the user terminal to at least one of the constellation of satellites. Another method operates so as to reduce an amount of information contained within a packet header after transmitting a first packet to at least one satellite of the constellation of satellites. Preferably the packet header of the first packet contains information that is descriptive of at least an identification of a source address and a destination address of the packet, and a connection identifier identifying a communication connection to which the packet belongs, whereas headers of subsequent packets of the communication connection contain only the connection identifier. The method further extracts and stores the information from the header of the first packet in the satellites, and routes subsequent packets based on the stored information and on the connection identifier. The method further expands the subsequently transmitted packet headers to contain the stored information prior to being transmitted to the data communication network.

US Patent:
20020032799, Mar 14, 2002
Filed:
Apr 24, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/841358
Inventors:
Robert Wiedeman - Sedalia CO, US
Prashant Waknis - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Globalstar L.P.
International Classification:
G06F015/16
US Classification:
709/245000
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for operating a satellite telecommunications system, including transmitting a message from a user terminal, the message comprising a Uniform Resource Locator (URL); receiving the message with a satellite, selecting a gateway to receive the message based on the URL, and forwarding the message to the selected gateway; at the selected gateway, performing a Domain Name Service (DNS) query in response to the URL received in the message to obtain an Internet protocol (IP) address of a destination server identified by the URL; and replacing the URL with the IP address and sending the message from the gateway to the destination server having the IP address. The gateway is selected in response to a portion of the URL that identifies a country where the destination server identified by the URL is located, and the message is forwarded to the gateway that serves the identified country. The satellite routes the message to the selected gateway through at least one Inter-Satellite Link (ISL) to at least one further satellite.

Isp System Using Non-Geosynchronous Orbit Satellites

US Patent:
6985454, Jan 10, 2006
Filed:
Jun 16, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/334386
Inventors:
Robert A. Wiedeman - San Jose CA, US
Prashant V. Waknis - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Globalstar L.P. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04B 7/185
US Classification:
370316, 370390, 370394, 370401
Abstract:
A satellite communication system includes a plurality of satellites, such as low earth orbit satellites, and a plurality of gateways. The satellite communication system is bidirectionally coupled to a terrestrial communication system through at least the plurality of gateways. The satellite communication system and the terrestrial communications system together form a data communication network having a plurality of nodes including source nodes, destination nodes and intermediate nodes. Multiple copies of a packet can coexist within the data communication network, and the packet and its one or more copies are routed, using at least in part satellite-resident routers and gateway-resident routers, over a plurality of different paths between a particular source node and a particular destination node. At least one duplicate copy of a given packet is simply not used during the execution of a packet reordering procedure in the destination node, or at an intermediate node. Certain of the paths are carried over satellite-to-satellite cross-links, while certain other ones of the paths are carried over satellite-to-gateway uplinks and downlinks, and at least one path exists between a user terminal and at least one satellite.
