Abstract
As next generation communication technologies emerge, new high data rate
applications and high-definition large-screen video streaming have become very popular.
As a result, network traffic has been increasing so much that existing backhaul networks
soon will not be able to support all traffic demands. To support these needs in future 6G
mobile systems, the establishment of an additional backhaul wireless network is
considered essential. As one of the solutions, a wireless backhaul network based on an
aerial platform has been proposed. In order to explore the potential of aerial platforms as
wireless backhaul networks, in this paper, the categories for wireless backhaul networks
based on aerial platforms are investigated. This paper includes a survey of the definitions
and characteristics of low altitude platforms (LAPs) and high altitude platforms (HAPs),
as well as channel models according to the atmosphere. For wireless backhaul network
designs based on aerial platforms, altitude and platform selection options, deployment
options, energy issues, and security based on target location and performance were
considered in the analysis and investigation.
