<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk129871826"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk130304755">Complementing terrestrial communication networks with non-terrestrial networks (NTN) in general and high-altitude platform station
(HAPS), in particular, is among the major innovative initiatives of the next generation of wireless mobile networks. Such compound networks, also known as vertical heterogeneous networks (VHetNets), are expected to offer essential services to ground systems
and provide connectivity in many applications, such as integrated communication, computing, sensing, and positioning. Unlike a conventional HAPS, which targets broad coverage for remote areas or disaster recovery, we envision next-generation VHetNets to have
the necessary capabilities to address the high capacity, low latency, and computing requirements, especially for highly populated metropolitan areas. In this talk, I will briefly highlight some of the key characteristics of HAPS, potential opportunities, and
use cases, followed by a few proofs of concept results.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
