CPC Class H04W

A satellite communication system comprises a satellite configured to provide a plurality of spot beams adapted for communication using time domain beam hopping to switch throughput among spot beams of the plurality of spot beams. The plurality of spot beams includes a first spot beam that illuminates and communicates with a first gateway and a first set of subscriber terminals. The satellite is configured to implement a beam hopping plan that during a hopping period provides throughput to the first spot beam for an aggregated time duration based on bandwidth assignments to the first gateway and the first set of subscriber terminals.

A non-contact power transmission device includes a power transmission unit configured to contactlessly provide electric power; a controller configured to provide location information of the non-contact power transmission device; and a communications unit configured to transmit the location information and product information received from a non-contact power reception device to a server, and receive an approval to transmit electric power to the non-contact power reception device from the server.
