Abstract:
The aerial base station (AeBS) combined with mmWave band communication is a promising way to flexibly enhance the wireless network capacity in data traffic hotspots caused by bandwidth-demanding services. In this letter, we present an approach for achieving optimal altitude selection and joint optimization of beamwidth and beam power of 3-D beams cast from mmWave AeBS to be deployed over a hotspot area. Simulation results show that, when bandwidth-demanding users are exclusively served, the proposed approach has the same results as the exhaustive optima and absorbs up to 213% more traffic from burdened area compared with when users are served without discrimination.
