High-Altitude Platforms for Wireless Communications
Publisher John Wiley and Sons
ISBN 0470510617
Release Date 10 December 2008
Provides an introduction to High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) technology and its applications for wireless communications
High-altitude platform stations offer a promising new technology that combines the benefits of terrestrial and satellite communication systems for delivering broadband communications to users at a low cost. They are easily deployable and easy to maintain, which is why they offer a good alternative for network operators who need to find ways to get more coverage to satisfy the increasing demand for more capacity. HAPS are usually balloons, airships or unmanned aerial systems (UAS) located in the stratosphere. An enormous interest has grown worldwide to examine their use not only for broadband communications, but also for emergency services, navigation, traffic monitoring, cellular, etc.
