Predicting Radio Frequency Interference Events
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of determining a communication schedule for a satellite system, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more computing devices, orbital data indicative of one or more orbital elements of a first satellite system and one or more second satellite systems;
obtaining, by the one or more computing devices, frequency data indicative of one or more frequencies at which the one or more second satellite systems transmit data;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, one or more expected radio frequency interference events associated with the first satellite system based at least in part on the orbital data and the frequency data; and
scheduling, by the one or more computing devices, one or more transmission periods during which data is transmitted to or from the first satellite and one or more silent periods during which data is not transmitted to or from the first satellite based at least in part on the expected radio frequency interference events.

Abstract
Systems and methods for determining a communication schedule for a satellite system are provided. For instance, orbital data indicative of one or more orbital elements of a first satellite system and one or more second satellite systems can be obtained. Frequency data frequency data indicative of one or more frequencies at which the one or more second satellite systems transmit data can also be obtained. One or more expected radio frequency interference events associated with the first satellite system can then be determined based at least in part on the orbital data and the frequency data. One or more downlink periods during which data is transmitted by the first satellite and one or more silent periods during which data is not transmitted by the first satellite can then be scheduled based at least in part on the expected radio frequency interference events.
