With its high capacity and immunity to electro-magnetic interference, free space optical (FSO) communication is positioned to be a key connectivity solution for airborne backhauling. In this paper, we consider a scenario where a fleet of high-altitude platform stations (HAPSs) follow a predefined ci...
