Thales had 19 patents in space economy during Q2 2024. The patent filed by Thales SA in Q2 2024 describes a method for allocating time-frequency telecommunication resources in a system with a satellite and user terminals. The method involves rendering multiple telecommunication beams, each associated with a separate user terminal, and dynamically re-centering each beam on the user terminal. Time-frequency resources are allocated based on a set of grids representing the Earth’s surface, with resources only being allocated to user terminals in separate areas of the grid.

Application: Method for allocating time-frequency resources in a satellite telecommunication system using beamforming, and associated device and computer program (Patent ID: US20240187087A1)
The patent filed by Thales SA describes a method for allocating time-frequency telecommunication resources in a satellite telecommunication system. The method involves using a set of grids representing the Earth's surface, where resources are allocated based on the positions of user terminals in separate areas of the grid. If initial allocation is not possible, additional grids with non-contiguous areas are used. The position of a user terminal is determined through beamforming weights and direction of arrival estimation.
The patent also includes claims for a computer program and a device for implementing the resource allocation method. The device is capable of allocating resources based on user terminal positions in separate grid areas and can perform additional allocation steps if needed. It also includes the functionality to determine user terminal positions using beamforming weights and direction of arrival estimation. The apparatus described in the claims provides a detailed framework for implementing the resource allocation method in a wireless satellite telecommunication system.
