Abstract

In this work we are interested in investigating how the High Altitude Platform (HAP) can efficiently support Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) in a scenarios wherein the terrestrial network is not available. To this aim, we propose to implement an efficient policy of Radio Resources Management (RRM) into the HAP Radio Network Controller (H-RNC). The proposed technique allows to improve the overall system capacity by selecting the most efficient multicast transport channel in terms of power consumption and by defining the switching thresholds between point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections.
