PREDICTION OF UPLINK INTERFERENCE POTENTIAL GENERATED BY AN ANCILLARY TERRESTRIAL NETWORK AND/OR RADIOTERMINALS
First Claim
1. A radioterminal comprising:
- a transceiver that is configured to communicate with at least one base station using frequencies of a satellite band; and
a controller that is configured to regulate communications between the radioterminal and the at least one base station in response to a level of interference potential that the communications between the radioterminal and the at least one base station causes to a satellite system,wherein the level of interference potential that the communications between the radioterminal and the at least one base station causes to the satellite system is based upon at least one measurement of a transmitted and/or received power level that is associated with a device that is communicating with at least one base station using at least some frequencies that are not frequencies of the satellite band.

Abstract
Methods are provided for predicting uplink interference potential to a mobile satellite system (MSS) generated by ancillary terrestrial components (ATCs) of an ancillary terrestrial network (ATN) and/or ATC radioterminals that are configured to terrestrially use/reuse satellite frequencies that are used and/or authorized for use by a MSS. The methods include measuring power transmitted by and/or received at one or more radioterminals communicating with one or more terrestrial networks and/or transmitted by and/or received at the one or more terrestrial networks communicating with the one or more radioterminals using terrestrial frequencies that are at least partially outside a range of the satellite frequencies. Uplink interference potential to the MSS generated by terrestrial use/reuse of satellite frequencies by the ATN and/or the ATC radioterminals is predicted responsive to the measured power. Related ancillary terrestrial networks are also described.
