Performance of coverage and wireless link for HAPS communication

Abstract

An information system formed by HAP (High Altitude Platform) will be a new generation-system for the wireless communications and HAPS (HAP Station) communication system combines the advantages of both terrestrial and satellite communication systems and avoids, to different extents, their disadvantages. It has been identified as a promising communication style in the field of telecommunication and an effective complement to the existing communication system. This paper focused on covering performance, wireless link performance and multiple spot beam cell partition scheme for HAPS. Three cell partition schemes were proposed for three scenarios in HAPS communication system. By numerical calculation and computer simulated analysis, the wireless link performance and appropriate scenario was proposed for each cell partition scheme. With reference to the engineering realization of HAPS communication system, the work in this paper is of importance.
