SATELLITE PACKET NETWORK FOR CELLULAR BACKHAUL OF ACCESS POINT DEVICES
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
determining traffic data associated with data packets that are to be transmitted between a satellite device and wireless access point devices via a wireless backhaul link, wherein the wireless access point devices are deployed within a coverage area of the satellite device, andbased on the traffic data, assigning satellite channels of the wireless backhaul link to the wireless access point devices to facilitate communication of the data packets.

Abstract
Communication services can be provided through utilization of wireless access points that are connected to the core network (e.g., evolved packet core (EPC) of a Long Term Evolution LTE cellular system) via a set of satellite links. The efficiency of the satellite space segment is increased by employing an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and a scheduling scheme based on traffic demand, satellite channel conditions, and/or Quality of Service (QoS) requirement of a data flow. The satellite space segment is shared between all the wireless access points in the satellite'"'"'s footprint, in a time and spectrally efficient manner, wherein the spectrum is used by a given wireless access point only when the wireless access point needs to transmit or receive packet data but otherwise is available to other wireless access points.
