Abstract

In this paper we investigate the performances of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and Frequency Bank Signal (FBS) methods over High Altitude Platforms ( HAPs) systems with different Doppler scales. FBS is an enhanced OFDMA technique, which is capable to eliminate the negative effects of Doppler shifts even in extreme cases, such as non-uniform Doppler shifts across the OFDMA subcarriers. Our simulations show that HAP- OFDMA systems can work if frequency shift due to Doppler Effects is smaller than 2% of carrier frequencies separation. These conditions correspond to the frequency band of 2GHz and train velocity 120 km/h. FBS method allows increasing the permissible Doppler shift up to 6 - 8 %, hence enabling higher carrier frequency bands and higher speed vehicles.
