Abstract
Satellite communication systems and methods are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a satellite communication system includes a user terminal and a gateway. The user terminal includes a terminal antenna and a terminal controller. The terminal antenna enables the user terminal to communicate via each of a first satellite and a second satellite. The gateway includes a gateway antenna and a gateway controller. The gateway antenna enables the gateway to communicate with the user terminal via each of the first satellite and the second satellite. At least one of the terminal controller and the gateway controller is configured to adjust a queue management policy during a handover operation from the first satellite to the second satellite.
