Abstract:Due to the increasing demand for Internet access on aircraft, air-to-ground (ATG) communications have recently received extensive attention. Determining the locations of ATG base stations (BSs) is an important guarantee for efficient ATG communications. To this end, we consider an aircraft-centric ATG network where the aircraft is served by its adjacent ATG BSs. For this scenario, we formulate an optimization problem to determine the best number and locations of ATG BSs, to maximize the average uplink channel … Show more
