Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for coordinated satellite and terrestrial channel utilization, are disclosed. One wireless system includes a plurality of base stations, a plurality of hubs, and a controller. For an embodiment, the controller is operative to determine discrete communication delays for each base station based upon a maximum propagation delay between each base station and the one or more of the plurality of hubs, generate a channel sharing map that includes a timing of communication between each base station and the one or more of the plurality of hubs, communicate the channel sharing map to the plurality of base stations. Further, each of the plurality of base stations operates to time wireless communication with the plurality of hubs based on the channel sharing map, the discrete communication delays of the base station, and a communication delay of a preceding base station according to the channel sharing map.
