Spectral-Efficient Network Design for High-Altitude Platform Station Networks With Mixed RF/FSO System

Ju-Hyung Lee et al.

Summary: This paper studies the integration of terrestrial networks with high-altitude platform stations (HAPSs), using dual-hop mixed RF/FSO networks for multi-HAPS relaying. The optimization problem for variables, including terminal association, transmit power, and HAPS deployment, is formulated to maximize the network throughput. An iterative algorithm with surrogate functions is proposed to efficiently solve the problem, achieving higher spectral efficiency compared to conventional methods.

Throughput Maximization of Mixed FSO/RF UAV-Aided Mobile Relaying With a Buffer

Ju-Hyung Lee et al.

Summary: This paper investigates a mobile relaying system assisted by an unmanned aerial vehicle with a finite buffer size, considering a dual-hop mixed FSO/RF relaying system. By addressing trajectory design of the UAV relay node taking into account transmission rate imbalance between RF and FSO links, the study aims to achieve maximum data throughput at the ground user terminal. A proposed iterative algorithm effectively obtains locally optimal solutions and presents trajectory results under atmospheric conditions, buffer size, and delay requirements, leading to 223.33% throughput gain compared to conventional static relaying schemes.
