  • Abstract
    In this paper, the performance of HAPs (high altitudes platforms) WiMAX is studied for different HAPs height h, different transmitted power level and different antenna boresight separation assuming a 7 cells network working at 30 GHz. The effect of the rain on the coverage zone radius is also studied. It is found that the coverage radius increases with the transmitted power increment.
