Two satellite communications systems can use the same frequency or frequencies in geographically overlapping footprints, without creating undue interference in a given system that is caused by the same frequency signal(s) that is/are used by the other system. In particular, an aggregate Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of the radioterminals and/or ancillary terrestrial components of a second satellite communications system in the common footprint is sufficiently low, and/or the receive antenna gain of a first satellite communications system is sufficiently low compared to the receive antenna gain of the second satellite communications system, so as to increase an aggregate receiver noise that is seen by the first satellite system receivers by an amount that does not substantially change a Quality of Service (QoS) of the first satellite communications system. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Some embodiments of the present invention allow two satellite radioterminal communications systems to use the same frequency or frequencies in geographically overlapping footprints, without creating undue interference in a given system (inter-system interference), that is caused by the same frequency signal(s) that is/are used by the other system.
In some embodiments, a first satellite radioterminal communications system provides satellite radiotelephone communications to a first set of radioterminals over a first satellite radioterminal frequency band in a first footprint, such as may be provided by a global beam and/or spot beams.
A second satellite radioterminal communications system provides radioterminal communications to a second set of radioterminals that may also be responsive to ancillary terrestrial components, over at least some frequencies of the first satellite radioterminal frequency band, in a second footprint that overlaps with the first footprint.
The aggregate Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of the second set of radioterminals and/or ancillary terrestrial components is sufficiently low, and/or the receive antenna gain of the first satellite radioterminal communications system is sufficiently low compared to the receive antenna gain of the second satellite radioterminal communications system, so as to increase the aggregate receiver noise that is seen by the first satellite system receivers by an amount that need not unduly impact the first satellite radioterminal communications system, i.
e.
, does not substantially change (including no change) the Quality of Service (QoS) of the first satellite radioterminal communications system.
It has been found, according to some embodiments of the present invention, that the first satellite receive antenna gain may be sufficiently low relative to the second satellite receive antenna gain, and the aggregate EIRP of the radioterminals and/or ancillary terrestrial components may be sufficiently low, so as to increase the aggregate noise that is seen by the first satellite receive antenna by an amount that need not unduly impact QoS of the first satellite radioterminal communications system
