Abstract

Abstract: The near space information network has the advantages of high time-effective deployment, wide-area communication coverage and local capacity enhancement, and can help enhance the ability of China to carry out major tasks such as public safety emergency response and disaster relief, and earth observation. The near space information network has novel channel propagation characteristics, a three-dimensional and multi-layer topology, and multi-heterogeneous and airspace-shared platforms, which make the channel modeling and dynamic deployment approaches of terrestrial wireless networks and space-based networks inapplicable to the near space information network. To take advantage of the near space information network, it is urgent to tackle the key technologies of channel modeling and dynamic deployment of the near space information network. This paper analyzes the major challenges in channel modeling and dynamic deployment for the near space information network, and discusses the key technologies to address the challenges. Some key research directions of the near space information network in the near future are also discussed.

Key words: near space information network, wide-area coverage, local enhancement, channel modeling, dynamic deployment
