Abstract
A novel satellite footprint design is presented in order to mitigate the GS M synchronisation problems, caused by the potential wide variety of require d timing advances, during the access phase of the signalling procedure. It is applied to LEO and MEO constellations and for different satellite channe l parameters. Different approaches are presented and their tradeoff in term s of signalling load is discussed.
