High Altitude Platform Stations in Stratosphere: Towards an Integrated Network of Networks

The NTN (non-terrestrial networks) expression has been used to refer to the satellite communications paradigm almost exclusively until recently. It is now increasingly acknowledged that within NTN, there are separate satellite, HAPS (high altitude platform station), and UAS (unscrewed aerial systems) paradigms with their own special dynamics. NTN is not only for connectivity; the framework includes connectivity, computing, edge intelligence, surveillance, security, sensing, monitoring, positioning, localization, navigation, and more. The humanity will demonstrate its full potential in every dimension (economic prosperity, wellbeing, equal opportunity, environmental, and more), when the communities get ultra-connected with a sustainable, reliable, resilient, intelligent, green/clean/eco-friendly, secure, ubiquitous & affordable, and ultra high-speed "network of networks" with terrestrial (6G and beyond) and non-terrestrial (space and stratospheric) components. NTN will arguably be one of the most prominent aspects of 6G. This discussion will continue throughout the 2030s as well in the beyond-6G era. Join us in fruitful talk by Prof. Halim Yanikomeroglu to learn more about this interesting topic.
