A communication system (10) has multiple satellites (20) communicating with ground stations (30) and with base stations (40). The satellites (20) are in non-geosynchronous orbit around the earth (52). A first ground station (30) transmits a data packet to a satellite (20). The data packet includes a sector number which represents an area on the earth (52) where the destination ground station (31) is located. The satellite (20) transmits the data packet to another satellite (20) if the satellite (20) is not serving an area identified by the sector number. This step is repeated until the data packet reaches a most likely satellite (20) that is most likely to be serving the area identified by the sector number. The most likely satellite (20) transmits the data packet to the destination ground station (31) if it is still serving the area identified by the sector number.

Un système de communication (10) est constitué de satellites (20) multiples communiquant avec des stations terrestres (30) et des stations de base (40). Les satellites (20) sont en orbite non-géosynchrone autour de la terre (52). Une première station terrestre (30) transmet un paquet de données à un satellite (20). Le paquet de données comprend un numéro de secteur qui représente une zone de la terre (52) dans laquelle se trouve la station terrestre (31) destinataire. Le satellite (20) transmet le paquet de données à un autre satellite (20) si le satellite (20) ne dessert pas une zone identifiée par le numéro de secteur. Cette étape est répétée jusqu'à ce que le paquet de données atteigne le satellite le plus probable (20), qui est le plus susceptible de desservir la zone identifiée par le numéro de secteur. Le satellite (20) le plus probable transmet le paquet de données à la station terrestre destinataire (31) s'il dessert encore la zone identifiée par le numéro de secteur.
