1. A method for maximizing ATC and MSS capacity in a combination ATC/MSS system where the ATC coverage area overlaps the MSS coverage area comprising:
- assigning a first frequency F1 to the ATC component;
dynamically setting a filter on the satellite to suppress F1; and
allocating frequencies other than F1 to the MSS component.

Abstract
A system or method is disclosed which employs filters on a satellite whose bandwidth is varied by ground command to restrict interference experienced by a satellite as an auxiliary terrestrial component (ATC) system is increased to a multiplicity of cities and markets. Thus there is provided a novel method and system which optimizes overall MSS and ATC traffic.
