摘要:

城市区域中不断增加的用户数量和新服务可能导致地面基站(BS)变得过载,并且因此导致一些用户得不到服务。除此之外,城市地区的用户可能面临严重的阴影和阻塞,这意味着一些用户不能接收到期望的服务质量(QoS)。出于能源和成本效益的可重构智能表面(RIS)和高空平台站(HAPS)的优势,包括其广泛的足迹和强大的视线(LoS)的链接,我们提出了一个解决方案,使用RISaided HAPS服务搁浅的用户。更具体地说,我们建议通过配备RIS的HAPS(HAPS-RIS)由专用控制站(CS)为滞留用户提供服务。通过这种方法,用户不受其所属小区服务的限制;因此,我们将这种方法称为小区外通信。正如我们在本文中所展示的,超蜂窝通信与传统的地面网络协同工作,以支持未覆盖或未服务的用户。提出了基于不同网络目标的用户最优发射功率和RIS单元分配策略。数值结果表明,所提出的超细胞通信方法的好处。此外,结果提供了不同的优化目标和它们的相互作用与最低的服务质量(QoS)和网络资源,如发射功率和反射器的数量的见解。

英文摘要:

The ever-increasing number of users and new services in urban regions can lead terrestrial base stations (BSs) to become overloaded and, consequently, some users to go unserved. Compounding this, users in urban areas can face severe shadowing and blockages, which means that some users do not receive a desired quality of service (QoS). Motivated by the energy and cost benefits of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) and the advantages of high altitude platform stations (HAPS), including their wide footprint and strong line-of-sight (LoS) links, we propose a solution to service the stranded users using the RISaided HAPS. More specifically, we propose to service the stranded users by a dedicated control station (CS) via a HAPS equipped with RIS (HAPS-RIS). Through this approach, users are not restricted from being serviced by the cell they belong to; hence, we refer to this approach as beyond-cell communication. As we demonstrate in this paper, beyond-cell communication works in tandem with legacy terrestrial networks to support uncovered or unserved users. Optimal transmit power and RIS unit assignment strategies for the users based on different network objectives are introduced. Numerical results demonstrate the benefits of the proposed beyond-cell communication approach. Moreover, the results provide insights into the different optimization objectives and their interplay with minimum quality-of-service (QoS) and network resources, such as transmit power and the number of reflectors.
