The usage of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a base station is in the spotlight to overcome the severe attenuation characteristics of short-wavelength radio in high-speed wireless networks. In this paper, we propose an optimal UAV deployment algorithm, considering the priority of ground nodes (GNs)...
