Communication Scenarios

alternativesstand-alone vs. integrated network

transparent payload vs. switching payload

four network architecturesstandalone platform scenario

scenario with the network of platforms connected via ground stations (GSs)

scenario with platform interconnection via interplatform links (IPLs)

scenario with platform to satellite links (PSLs)

All-IP Approach

IP in the native mode, not only for transport purposes

the architecture can be build from the scratch

why IP:

prevalent fixed networking standard

simple and stateless

complexity pushed to the edge

6

Mobility Architecture

mobility of vehicles and passengers

wireless links within the network

Micro mobility

Macro mobility

Access mobility

7

Access-level Mobility

within single HAP coverage area

loose coupling with IP-mobility

exploits specifics of link layer

access control to a link

8

Macro-mobility

Mobile-IP, SIP, Multicast

two-level Mobile IP

route optimization is well-defined for top-level Mobile IP, multi-level mobility poses difficulties

inefficient inter- and intra-platform communications

Micro-mobility

movement detection and registration latency of MIP

tree-like hierarchy of local routersCellular IP, Hawaii, TeleMIP

tunnel-based schemesHierarchical MIP (HMIP)

route optimality issue: anchor node is included in most communications

alternative: platform vs. ground based anchor node

Conclusion

HAPs can be deployed within different architectures

adequate mobility architecture need to be defined

multi-level mobility solutions are under development
