QoS Management for High Altitude Platforms

Abstract

An emerging solution is offered by high altitude platforms (HAPs) operating in the stratosphere at altitudes of up to 22 km to provide communication facilities that can exploit the best features of both terrestrial and satellite schemes .HAPs includes many applications and heterogeneity networks, which need to different QoS , so how to realize the aim that guarantee the QoS is very important. This article focuses on QoS management for HAPs based on a hybrid network architecture. This network architecture and QoS management scheme are more generally applicable, and we anticipate they will form the basis for HAPs network independent of the physical medium.
