1. A method of establishing one or more links for an integrated access and backhaul for a network, the network including a high-altitude platform (HAP) node and a terrestrial node, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors of a controller, physical location information of the HAP node, the physical location information indicating that a location of the HAP node is projected to be within a particular distance from the location of the terrestrial node within a set amount of time, wherein the physical location information of the HAP node includes projected coordinates of the location of the HAP node;
determining that the HAP node can provide at least one of an additional access link or an additional backhaul link in the network in connection with the terrestrial node; and
in response to the determining, transmitting instructions to the terrestrial node to cause one or more transceivers of the terrestrial node to establish at least one of the additional access link or the additional backhaul link with the HAP node according to the physical location information of the HAP node,
wherein the instructions further cause the one or more transceivers of the terrestrial node to point transmit signals above a horizon to a location of the HAP node.
