Abstract:

A new multi-layer ring cellular structure for HAPS communication is constructed. The proposed cell structure will increase the width of the beam at the inner circle, reduce the width of the beam at the outer circle, and decrease the difference of signal to noise ratio between the inner and outer cells. The validity of ring cellular structure is verified by analysis and numerical calculation of wireless link budget. Also the complexity of the antenna design for engineering realization and cost are reduced by multi-layer ring cellular structure designed this paper.

Key words: high altitude platform stations, cellular structure, beam forming, multi-layer
