摘要
A method and apparatus are provided for managing the communications traffic load handled by one or more satellites (12, 120) within a satellite communications system (10) while staying within the capacity of on-board electrical power resources (90, 92, 94, FIG. 3). A forecast of the communications traffic load for a future time period is generated, using historical traffic data. Based in part upon the current onboard power capacity, predicted solar-charging conditions, and predicted traffic load, a forecast of the battery state of charge throughout the future time period is generated. If the forecast communications traffic load exceeds the forecast level of on-board power resources for the future time period, the method and apparatus undertake various remedial measures, including flow control, moving subscribers to low power channels, and terminating subscriber connections.
