Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being integrated as an active element in 5G and beyond networks. Because of their flexibility and mobility, UAV base stations (UAV-BSs) can be deployed according to the ground user distributions and their quality-of-service (QoS) requirement. Although there has be...
