Abstract
To ensure the seamless connection from aircraft to aeronautical networks, there must be connection handovers between different ground stations (GSs) or networks considering the high-speed mobility and multi-link characteristics of aircraft. Because the handoff rate analysis of the existing aeronautical network is usually only applicable to a specific single network and lacks the consideration of aircraft's three-dimensional (3D) mobility, we introduce the maneuvering Euler angle to simulate the motion characteristics of aircraft by combining the 3D Gauss-Markov mobility model, then, we utilize the Matern hard-core point process (MHCPP) to simulate the layout of GSs in the aeronautical network, and derive the closed expression of the aircraft's overall handoff rate. Finally, we analyze the influences of the layout of GSs and aircraft's average speed, pitch angle, and yaw angel on the handoff rates by simulations.
