- one satellite beam covers two or more TAs at the same time. For example, as shown in the middle diagram of FIG. 3, the beams cover TA1 and TA2 simultaneously. Since only one TAC can be carried in the existing satellite broadcast message, "hard handover" is required in the existing satellite communication, that is, in the transitional phase of TA handover, the TAC corresponding to TA1 is replaced with the one corresponding to TA2 in the broadcast message.
