Abstract :
In this work, we investigate the application, at transport level, of erasure codes (also called FZC) on a link between a HAP (high altitude platform) and ground users. We simulated a 480 Kbps channel in the 2 GHz band, characterized by multipath fading, for a typical vehicular and a typical pedestrian case. In this scenario, we compared the performance, in terms of packet error rate, between vehicular and pedestrian cases, for different packet block lengths, Eb/N 0 values, and carrier-to-multipath (C/M) ratios
