Abstract

A method to mitigate interference while minimizing unnecessary scheduling restrictions on the NASA tracking and data relay satellite system (TDRSS) network and user resources, based on consideration of all relevant communications parameters, has been developed. This method also can be used as the basis for analysis, evaluation, and optimization of user schedules with respect to communications performance. The method and its proposed application to scheduling in space communications are described. Test cases relative to planned missions, including the Earth Observing System, the Space Station manned base, and the Space Shuttle are discussed
