Abstract:

To solve the problems of weak computing and storage capacity of nodes while providing aeronautical communication services, a multiple metrics aware ant routing algorithm for high altitude platform station (HAPS) networks is presented. The proposed routing algorithm works to find the shortest path from source to destination in HAPS networks, and satisfies the requirements of services. Many simulations have been performed. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is capable of reducing call blocking probability and better link utilization achieving traffic load balance.

Key words: aeronautical telecommunication network; high altitude platform station, routing
