The link budget of HAPS and channel model are proposed in this paper. According to the channel characteristic, the channel model is set up, combined with different CNR (Carrier Noise Ratio), elevation angle, coding situations of wireless communication link by using Hamming code, PSK (Pulse Shift Keying) and Golay code respectively, then the situations of link quality and BER are analyzed. The simulation results show that the established model of the link budget and channel are suitable for the theoretical analysis results. The elevation of the HAPS communication link is smaller while the BER is increasing. The case of channel in the coding is better than in the un-coded situation. When every bit power and thermal noise power spectral density is larger, the BER of the HAPS communication link is becoming smaller.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info9090210","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,23]],"date-time":"2018-08-23T03:00:46Z","timestamp":1534993246000},"page":"210","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Time-Varying Communication Channel High Altitude Platform Station Link Budget and Channel Modeling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Xiaoyang","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing 400054, China"},{"name":"College of Engineering, The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hengyang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing 400054, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing 400054, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ya","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing 400054, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5715","DOI":"10.1109\/TPEL.2013.2297205","article-title":"A near-state three-dimensional space vector modulation for a three-phase four-Leg voltage source inverter","volume":"29","author":"Zhang","year":"2014","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
