Systems and methods for satellite communications using a space tolerant protocol
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- designating as a control node, a first communication node of a plurality of communication nodes that are associated with a satellite communications system;
responsive to designating the control node, designating as a listening node, a second communication node of the plurality of communication nodes, wherein the listening node is responsive to instructions provided by the control node;
receiving, at a tuning module associated with a satellite communications system, one or more input tuning factors, wherein the one or more input tuning factors comprise at least a resource burden factor;
responsive to receiving the one or more input tuning factors, adjusting by the tuning module, one or more tunable output parameters;
sending, from the control node to the listening node, instructions comprising one or more of the tunable output parameters; and
executing the instructions at the listening node.

Abstract
A method is provided that can include designating as a control node, a first communication node of a plurality of communication nodes associated with a satellite communications system. The method can include, designating as a listening node, a second communication node of the plurality of communication nodes. The listening node is responsive to instructions provided by the control node. The method includes receiving, at a tuning module, one or more input tuning factors, wherein the one or more input tuning factors can include at least a resource burden factor. Responsive to receiving the one or more input tuning factors, the method includes adjusting by the tuning module, one or more tunable output parameters. The method includes sending, from the control node to the listening node, instructions comprising one or more of the tunable output parameters, and executing the instructions at the listening node.

16. A satellite communications system comprising:
-
a plurality of communication nodes comprising at least one node associated with a satellite; a memory for storing data and computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the system to; designate as a control node, a first communication node of the plurality of communication nodes; designate as a listening node, a second communication node of the plurality of communication nodes, wherein the second communication node is different from the first communication node, and wherein the listening node is configured to be responsive to instructions provided by the control node; receive, at a tuning module associated with the memory, one or more input tuning factors, wherein the one or more input tuning factors comprise at least a resource burden factor; adjust, by the tuning module, one or more tunable output parameters in response to the received input tuning factors; send, from the control node to the listening node, instructions comprising one or more of the tunable output parameters; and execute the instructions at the listening node. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
