1. A method for rapidly determining which one of a plurality of mobile terminals is causing interference with a transponded satellite orbiting in a vicinity of a target satellite with which the mobile terminals are in communication with, the method comprising the steps of:

  • using a network operations center (NOC) to monitor and record each transmission event occurring between each said mobile terminal and said target satellite;

    creating a time line of said transmissions events, said time line representing a real time, sequential record of said transmission events, and storing said sequential record in a database accessible to said NOC;

    when said NOC is informed of an interference event occurring with a satellite adjacent to said target satellite, causing said NOC to access said database, in real time, to determine a specific transmission event that occurred immediately prior to the time that said interference event arose; and

    using said NOC to analyze, in real time, said specific transmission event to eliminate said interference condition.
