Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of operating a communication network. The method includes receiving input data related to a state of the communication network and determining an implementation policy for the communication network based on the input data. The implementation policy is a set of features for forming one or more communication links in the communication network over a time interval. The one or more communication links includes at least one communication link between a terrestrial terminal and a high-altitude platform terminal. Determining the implementation policy is based at least in part on utility values of previous policies. The utility values of previous policies are derived using simulation and/or real-world implementation of the previous policies. The communication network is then operated to implement the implementation policy in the time interval.

Abstract: The technology relates to simulating a dynamic hybrid network. A method for simulating a dynamic hybrid network includes modeling a transmission supply of a mesh network of moving stations on aerial vehicles in flight at each time step in a time series, modeling capacity demand as a function of user distribution data and user behavior data, and computing an aggregate network metric for the dynamic hybrid network including throughput. A method for optimizing throughput of a dynamic hybrid network includes modeling a dynamic hybrid network, including a transmission supply of a mesh network of moving stations, modeling capacity demand as a function of user distribution data and user behavior data, and computing an aggregate network metric; then providing feedback to a controller and causing a change to a station in the network to increase throughput.
