Recently, Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. has obtained a new patent for “satellite-based communication method, device, and storage medium”, which belongs to the field of communication technology.
The abstract shows that the method described in the patent determines the antenna parameters of the first satellite by acquiring the operation information of the first satellite and the location information of the target coverage area.
Moreover, the parameters are used to control the antenna to provide a beam pointing to the target coverage area. The method can provide communication stability for terminals in the target coverage area.
Obtain the operation information of the first satellite and the position information of the target coverage area; determine the parameters of the antenna of the first satellite according to the operation information of the first satellite and the position information of the target coverage area.
Furthermore, the parameters are used for the antenna are controlled to provide a beam directed towards the target coverage area. The method can provide stability of the communication of the terminals in the target coverage area. At present, Xiaomi has not responded to the question of this patent.
