论文摘要
高空平台站(HAP)系统最近引起了新的关注。尽管陆地技术和卫星技术在提供连接服务方面已经建立了良好的知识,但它们面临着某些缺点和挑战,可以通过与HAPS系统补充它们来解决这些缺点和挑战。在本文中,我们将HAPS视为超级宏基站,我们称为HAPS-SMB,以在大量应用中提供连接性。与传统的HAP不同,该HAP针对偏远地区或灾难恢复的广泛覆盖范围不同,我们设想下一代HAPS-SMB具有必要的能力来满足高容量,低潜伏期和计算要求,尤其是对于人口稠密的大都市地区。本文主要关注我们期望与基于HAPS-SMBS的未来无线访问体系结构的潜在机会,目标用例和挑战。
High altitude platform station (HAPS) systems have recently attracted renewed attention. While terrestrial and satellite technologies are well-established for providing connectivity services, they face certain shortcomings and challenges, which could be addressed by complementing them with HAPS systems. In this paper, we envision a HAPS as a super macro base station, which we refer to as HAPS-SMBS, to provide connectivity in a plethora of applications. Unlike a conventional HAPS, which targets broad coverage for remote areas or disaster recovery, we envision next-generation HAPS-SMBS to have the necessary capabilities to address the high capacity, low latency, and computing requirements especially for highly populated metropolitan areas. This article focuses mainly on the potential opportunities, target use cases, and challenges that we expect to be associated with the design and implementation of the HAPS-SMBS based future wireless access architecture.
