Abstract
A constellation of non-geosynchronous satellites are in a common orbit. Each time one of the satellites is at a trigger location, a new rolling wave of handovers is started that includes performing handovers of a group of dependent spot beams between adjacent satellites in sequence for pairs of adjacent satellites in a single direction around the orbit.
