Abstract<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Enhancing the reliability and throughput of modern terrestrial cellular and ultra-dense networks (UDNs) through unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has become an important topic in wireless communications research. A key element in the implementation of UAV-assisted networks is the aerial base station\u2019s positioning. This work employs the advancements in channel modeling for air-to-ground links to evaluate the system\u2019s throughput in different propagation scenarios. The UAV is associated to the low-throughput users, which are ordinarily served by the ground-based access point (AP) within a UDN. The UAV position that provides the best performance is selected for all path-loss (PL) models, and the experiment is performed for different coefficients (periods) of update for the UE associations between the UAV and the AP. System throughput of up to 120 Mbps is achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n
