Abstract

Cellular communications using high altitude platforms will predominate the existing conventional terrestrial or satellite cellular systems but requires some optimization especially in the, radio coverage cellular design. In this paper either spot-beam antennas or antenna phased arrays are used in the radio coverage which is optimized in directing their beams to satisfy mostly uniform cellular layout with minimal coverage problems such as coverage gaps between cells or excessive cells overlap
