Cooperative Transmission Strategy of Base Stations for Structured Airspace Corridors
With the rapid development of the low-altitude economy
constructing a low-altitude intelligent network for aircraft has become a critical foundation for supporting the safe operation of low-altitude activities. However
existing deployment strategies for ground base stations are primarily designed for ground users
resulting in limited airspace coverage. Furthermore
the mobility of low-altitude aircraft is significantly higher than that of ground users
imposing stringent real-time requirements on beamforming and transmission power allocation of base stations. This paper focuses on structured air route scenarios and proposes a collaborative optimization strategy for base station deployment and power allocation to maximize the overall air-ground transmission efficiency of the network. The optimization is divided into two stages: first
a heuristic search algorithm is employed to globally optimize base station deployment positions
enhancing the geometric coverage performance of the network. Subsequently
a deep reinforcement learning framework based on the DeepSets architecture is constructed to address the issue of power allocation in highly dynamic scenarios
enabling three-dimensional dynamic tracking. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed base station deployment scheme improves channel quality
achieving approximately 9.78% higher air-ground transmission rates compared to benchmark schemes. The reinforcement learning framework converges stably and quickly
providing effective three-dimensional tracking of aircraft users. This study offers theoretical support and practical guidance for building an efficient air-ground integrated low-altitude communication network.
