Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for a satellite wireless communication system are disclosed. One system includes a base station, a satellite, a beam management controller, and a plurality of wireless devices. The base station is configured to wirelessly communicate according to a schedule between the base station and each of the plurality of wireless devices within a scheduling frame. The satellite is operative to form a plurality of beams between the satellite and the wireless devices and support a wireless satellite link between the base station and the wireless devices through the plurality of beams. The beam management controller is operative to assign beam allocations for the scheduled wireless communication between each of the wireless devices and the base station that is time aligned with the scheduling frame, wherein each of the beam allocations includes an assignment to at least one of the plurality of beams.
