Abstract

Abstract

A millimeter-wave air-terrestrial network with integrated access and backhaul is considered to investigate the impact of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) wireless backhaul on the network performance and user experience, where UAVs provide hotspot traffic services, Terrestrial Base Stations (TBSs) provide UAV backhaul links and serve users in non-hotspot areas, and a spectrum partitioning resource allocation method is considered for the access and backhaul links. For this scenario, a stochastic geometry-based framework is established to model the millimeter wave air-ground network, and derive the coverage probabilities of both users. Furthermore, based on the load analysis of TBSs and UAVs, the rate coverage performances are provided as well as the overall user performance. Based on the proposed analytical framework, the impacts of key system parameters, such as access link spectrum allocation ratio, UAV, and hotspot user densities, on user performance are studied.
