  Abstract

This study proposes an optimized deployment strategy for high altitude platform (HAP)-enabled mobile base stations by combining user density prediction with reinforcement learning. Using the Geolife GPS Trajectories dataset from the Beijing area, we preprocessed and divided the data into three regions based on building density, then employed a GRU model to predict 10-minute interval user density. Based on the predicted density information, a Deep Q-Network (DQN) was applied to learn the optimal deployment policy for mobile base stations. We compared the performance between single and dual base station scenarios. Experimental results show that the proposed approach effectively covers major high-density areas in every scenario, and improves performance through appropriate adjustment of the number of base stations and learning strategies compared to real-time greedy methods in scenario with high-density urban environments.
