Bandwidth Bandwidth is the amount of transmission capacity available in a communication channel or network path over time. It describes how much data or spectral space a system can support. Concept/Framework Bandwidth Allocation Bandwidth Allocation is the assignment of available network capacity to users, flows, or services according to policy or demand. It governs how shared capacity is distributed. Operations Base Station A base station is a fixed radio site or node that transmits and receives signals to connect end devices to a wireless or mobile access network. It is the local… Hardware Beam Coverage Beam Coverage is the spatial area over which a radio beam provides usable service. It describes the footprint of signal availability from a directional beam, determined by antenna pattern, transmit… Concept/Framework Beam Hopping Beam Hopping is the dynamic activation or scheduling of satellite beams over time to allocate capacity where it is needed. Operations Beamforming Beamforming is the use of signal processing to shape transmitted or received radio energy toward a target direction by adjusting phase, amplitude, or timing across multiple antenna elements. Hardware Bellman Ford Algorithm Bellman Ford Algorithm is a shortest-path computation method that calculates minimum-cost routes from a source node to all other nodes in a weighted graph, including graphs with negative edge weights,… Software Bent-Pipe NTN A non-terrestrial network payload architecture in which the satellite relays signals transparently between the feeder link and service link — performing frequency conversion and amplification only — with all RAN… Concept/Framework Best-Effort Networking Best-effort networking is a delivery model in which the network attempts to forward packets but does not promise deterministic performance. Concept/Framework BGP BGP is a path-vector routing protocol used to exchange reachability information between autonomous systems. It is the main protocol for inter-domain routing on large networks.
