Abstract
A method of controlling transmission of signals in a group of beams emitted by a satellite, wherein each beam has an associated area of coverage, includes adjusting an allocation of a channel resource by re-distributing portions of the channel resource among the beams in the group of beams in accordance with respective capacity demands for the areas of coverage of the beams in the group. The method further includes obtaining, for each of the areas of coverage, an indication of a signal quality from a terminal in the respective area of coverage for the adjusted allocation of the channel resource, and applying a co-channel interference mitigating technique to the group of beams in accordance with the obtained indications of the signal quality. The application further relates to an apparatus for performing such method.
