Abstract
An Ancillary Terrestrial Network (ATN) includes at least one Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) that is configured to provide wireless communications using frequencies of a satellite frequency band. The ATN provides communications based on a GSM, cdma2000 and/or W-CDMA air interface, under a constrained capacity measure. The capacity measure of the ATN may also be constrained when the ATN provides communications based on an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) and/or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) air interface. Analogous methods of controlling an ATN also may be provided.
