This paper studies the potential improvement in the achievable data rate available to ground users by integrating satellite, airborne, and terrestrial networks. The goal is to establish dynamic wireless services in remote or infrastructure-less areas. This integration uses high-altitude platforms in the exosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere for better altitude reuse coupled with emerging optical or other high-frequency directional transceivers. Hence they offer a significant increases in the scarce spectrum aggregate efficiency. However, managing resource allocation with deployment in this integrated system still has some difficulties. This paper aims to tackle resource management challenges by (i) providing wireless services to ground users in remote areas and connecting them with metropolitan and rural areas, (ii) employing high-altitude platforms (HAPs) equipped with free-space-optical communication modules for back-hauling backbone. Finally, we show how our results illustrate the advantages of using the proposed scheme.
