1. A method comprising:
determining a motion state of an antenna for communication with a satellite;
determining a motion profile for the antenna based on the motion state; and
controlling the antenna based on the motion profile, wherein controlling the antenna comprises
determining whether the motion state of the antenna indicates that the antenna is stationary,
applying a first set of parameters upon determining that the motion state of the antenna indicates that the antenna is stationary,
determining whether the motion state of the antenna indicates that the antenna is moving, and
applying a second set of parameters upon determining that the motion state of the antenna indicates that the antenna is moving, wherein the first set of parameters cause the antenna to determine orientation of the antenna using tilt indications from one or more accelerometers and the second set of parameters cause the antenna to determine orientation of the antenna without using the tilt indications from the one or more accelerometers.
