Abstract
A mesh receiver, computer readable storage medium and method for a very small aperture terminal (VSAT) performing communications in a satellite-based network. The mesh receiver includes a receiver that receives a plurality of TDMA mesh carriers simultaneously in the network in plural channels. The mesh carriers have a transmitted frequency, transmitted gain, and transmitted timing that is unknown to the mesh receiver. The mesh receiver also includes circuitry configured to blindly derive gain, frequency, and timing values from the received mesh carriers, and a demodulator that demodulates the received TDMA mesh carriers and generates demodulated bursts for packets of the communications based on the blindly derived gain, frequency, and timing values.
