Abstract-recently, the number of radio Base Stations (BS) is increasing drastically to cover large area and that leads to increase the cost. Therefore, instead of increasing the number of BS, height of BS is required to be increased. In this paper, we propose to use Tethered Balloon for carrying BS to altitude 200-440 meter. Therefore, it is able to provide effective and efficient telecommunication facilities and service with low cost. Additionally, the multi-Tethered Balloons concept has been used to extend the coverage area especially in thinly populated and remote areas. This paper describes possible multiple Tethered Balloons constellations, and explains how it is possible to increase the capacity. In this case, the WiMAX station is allocated in Tethered Balloon payload. Then, Quality of Service (QoS) parameters are measured and simulated for multiple Tethered Balloons using Optimized Network Engineering Tool (OPNET) Modeler 14.5 for the network implementation. The performance of our proposed technology is effectively and efficiently for delivering broadband communication services for large coverage areas.

The development and adopting of advanced communication technologies provide mobile users more convenience to connect any wireless network anytime and anywhere. Therefore, a large number of base stations (BS) are demanded keeping users connectivity, enhancing network capacity, and guarantee a sustained users Quality of Experiences (QoS). However, increasing the number of BS leads to an increase in the ecological ad radiation hazards. In order to green communication, many factors should be taken into consideration, i.e., saving energy, guarantee QoS, and reducing pollution hazards. Therefore, we propose tethered balloon technology that can replace a large number of BS and reduce ecological and radiation hazards due to its high altitude and feasible green and healthy broadband communication. The main contribution of this paper is to deploy tethered balloon technology at different altitude and measure the power density. Furthermore, we evaluate the measurement of power density from different height of tethered balloon comparison with traditional wireless communication technologies. The simulation results showed that tethered balloon technology can deliver green communication effectively and efficiently without any hazardous impacts.

Abstract. This work presents the modeling and control of a multirotor aerial vehicle with tethered configuration. It is considered an octocopter with a saturated proportional-plus-derivative position control. A viscoelastic model is considered for the tether, which has a tension control. Numerical simulations are carried out to compare the performance of the tethred configuration with the vehicle in free flight.
