Abstract

Low-altitude platform communication technology is a burgeoning field in telecommunications, offering diverse applications ranging from civilian to security and military domains. This technology is pivotal in providing communication services during network downtime, heavy traffic, natural disasters, or wartime scenarios. This paper explores the utilization of low-altitude platforms for telecommunications services, specifically focusing on mobile cellular networks, evaluating its performance through simulation software under various conditions.
