This paper presents a brief overview of recent results on scheduling in Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) satellite communications systems which augment those included in a recent survey. These results address problems arising in Satellite Switched TDMA (SS/TDMA) systems and SS/TDMA systems with intersatellite links, as well as generalizations and relatives of these problems. They also have application in other areas, for example, I/O in parallel computers.
