Due to its agile maneuverability, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have shown great promise for ondemand communications. In practice, UAV-aided aerial base stations are not separate. Instead, they rely on existing satellites/terrestrial systems for spectrum sharing and efficient backhaul. In this cas...
