Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

System and a method for timely interconnecting elements of a wide spread remote measurement, monitoring or data collection system through multiplexing in a satellite system. The invention provides multiplexing features of a satellite system using on-board processing features to gather data from a plurality of remote monitoring stations ( 4 ) on any global navigation reference time and multiplex them into a single stream towards one or more computation centers. Each of said computation centers ( 3 ) has a down-link adapter ( 7 ) capable of extracting a channel from a down-link transmission of a satellite. The data from each of said remote monitoring stations ( 4 ) is also passed through an up-link adapter ( 5 ) so as to make it suitable for uplink transmission towards a DDBS satellite. Up-link and down-link adapters can be interconnected together to enable loop-back of information such as timing data to monitor transit times.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A satellite-based monitoring, measurement or data collection system comprising: a monitoring, measurement or data collection system having a plurality of monitoring stations for remote monitoring, measurement or data collection and for providing data to respective computation centers; a satellite system using at least one satellite having an on-board processor for multiplexing up-link data received and broadcasting said multiplexed data in a down-lin…
