A system for compensating for a Doppler frequency shift in communications between a mobile node and a fixed node. The system includes a Doppler frequency shift estimation unit configured to estimate the Doppler frequency shift experienced in a communication signal between the mobile node and the fixed node, wherein the Doppler frequency shift is estimated based on a location of the mobile node, a heading of the mobile node, and speed of the mobile node, and a location of the fixed node. The system also includes a frequency shift unit configured to shift a frequency of the communication signal in accordance with the estimated Doppler frequency shift.
