Abstract
In this paper, the concentric ring shaped cellular configuration is designed for High Altitude Platforms (HAPs). An one dimensional (1D) vertical linear antenna array is used to generate this configuration. The effect of different types of HAP mobility models, e. g. drift, random walk, and reflection has been examined. The possibility of reducing the need for mechanical stabilization via handoff techniques is demonstrated through the study of handoff, dropping, and blocking probabilities.
