Abstract

Increase on the demand of the telecommunications services is related with systems based on different technological alternatives. One of them, that is being developed in the last years is the use of a aircraft or airships technologies. The high altitude platforms stations (HAPS) represent one attractive option today. In this paper, a statistical switched broadband channel model is postulated and analyzed by simulation and several conditions related with the coverage and environmental conditions are analyzed. A system model is postulated and evaluated considering different coded signals transmitted on the channel model proposed.
