Abstract :
Channel assignment strategies for use with a high altitude platform spot beam architecture are examined. A novel power roll-off approximation is derived to allow terrestrial simulation tools to be used, and simulation performance is compared with a theoretical lower bound derived from the Engset distribution. It is shown that the use of cell overlap considerably enhances the blocking probability performance, in addition to boosting flexibility.
