TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN AN INTEGRATED SATELLITE-HAP-TERRESTRIAL SYSTEM

摘要

Communication networks are approaching the concept of Universal Personal Communications through the deployment of a new generation of integrated wireless-wired systems. This paper explains the potential role of an integrated Satellite-HAP-Terrestrial system. The proposed architecture consists of three layers: the Terrestrial Layer, HAP Layer and GEO Layer. The terrestrial layer's terminals within the same HAP coverage area have to use HAP transponder and HAP Master Control Station (HMCS) to send and receive data amongst themselves. Moreover the HAP Gateway stations (HGTW) guarantees communications among users belonging to different HAP coverage areas using the GEO satellite links keywords-component - high altitude platform; geostationary satellites; multimedia traffic; on-board processing
