Abstract

The invention provides a method of regulating the power of transmission between first and second stations in a multiple satellite visibility satellite telecommunication network. The method comprises the following cyclic steps: regulation, for each of said N channels, of an isolated transmit power level command signal such that when it commands the power at which the first station transmits the first isolated signal in each channel the quality level of the corresponding isolated second signal received by the second station is equal to a reference quality level, and regulation, for all of the N channels, of N combined transmit power level command signals such that when they command the levels at which the first station respectively transmits the N first combined signals on the N channels the quality level of the global signal received formed from the N combined second signals is equal to the reference quality level. Depending on whether the isolated command signal having the minimal level is such that this minimal level is less than or greater than a maximal tolerated isolated command level, the minimal level isolated command signal is selected to command the power with which the fir…
