Airborne Base Stations for Emergency and Temporary Events
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a rapidly deployable wireless network based on Low Altitude Platforms and portable land units to support disaster-relief activities, and to extend capacity during temporary mass events. The system integrates an amalgam of radio technologies such as LTE, WLAN and TETRA to provide heterogeneous communications in the deployment location. Cognitive radio is used for autonomous network configuration. Sensor networks monitor the environment in real-time during relief activities and provide distributed spectrum sensing capacities. Finally, remote communications are supported via S-band satellite links.

In this paper, we study the performance of a simple and easy-to-implement distributed power control strategy applicable to direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) networks. The scheme makes use of the received power measurements made on the forward link at individual mobile units to control the transmit powers on their reverse links. The algorithm, which eeectively compensates f...
