Abstract
Methods and apparatus for mobile station to mobile station communications in a mobile satellite communications system include an asymmetrical TDMA formatting scheme. According to exemplary embodiments a first mobile station broadcasts a first signal to an orbiting satellite using a first TDMA format. The satellite receives the first signal maps the first TDMA format to a second TDMA format and broadcasts a second signal having the second TDMA format to a second mobile station. Advantageously exemplary embodiments utilize an elastic buffer to allow the satellite to map the uplink TDMA format to the downlink TDMA format without having to demodulate and re-modulate communications signals.
