Abstract :
The Tethered balloon is new technology for telecommunication that can overcome the limitation of terrestrial system and satellite system due to demand for high capacity in telecommunication. Tethered balloon provides large coverage area with line of sight, which needs large number of base stations for coverage with terrestrial system; also reduce the delay time of the transmission compared to satellite system. Tethered balloon technology is studied in this paper for mobile communication purposes and some calculations are performed to show how path loss, coverage area and height of Tethered balloon are related. The propagation model Hata model is used.
