| Abstract | This paper deals with the application of High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) to the provision of third generation mobile services in sparsely-populated areas. The coverage of extensive and sparsely populated areas by 3G mobile network signals is complicated and extremely expensive. A solution to this problem could be the use of HAPS, which appear to be very prospective, and not only for developing countries. High Altitude Platforms (HAPs), situated in the stratosphere at an altitude ranging from 17 to 22 km [1], offer many advantages when compared to terrestrial base stations, such as a large area of coverage and no shadowing for high elevation angles. This paper focuses on the behaviour of large cells provided via a multiple HAP deployment and shows the possibilities of using small cells located inside these large cells to serve hot spot areas. The impact of the antenna power roll-off at the cell edge on cell capacity and the quality of coverage will be presented. |
