Performance Analysis of Aerial Base Station Deployment in Satellite Wireless Communication

Our work compares the air-to-ground link across different channel models in SAGIN. This study is crucial for optimizing the deployment of ABS in SAGIN, where the ABS acts as a vital relay between satellite and ground users. By analyzing how signal strength and user connectivity vary with altitude under multiple models, the study provides a systematic understanding of altitude-dependent performance. The results offer practical guidance for selecting optimal ABS heights to maximize coverage, ensure reliable user connections, and maintain strong end-to-end links within SAGIN.
