Researchers have developed a new framework using deep reinforcement learning to dynamically position High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) in maritime networks. This approach specifically addresses challenges posed by stratospheric winds and ship mobility, which can disrupt stable wireless coverage. The system employs a Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm to learn positioning strategies that improve system throughput and maintain reliable connectivity for users at sea. AI
