Copyright policy )Energy-Efficient 3-D Deployment of Aerial Access Points in a UAV Communication System
In this letter, we propose an energy-efficient 3-<br>dimensional placement of multiple aerial access points (AAPs),<br>in the desired area, acting as flying base stations for uplink<br>communication from a set of ground user equipment (UE).<br>The globally optimal energy-efficient vertical position of AAPs<br>is derived analytically by considering the inter-cell interference<br>and AAP energy consumption. The horizontal position of AAPs,<br>which maximize the packing density of the AAP coverage<br>area, are determined using a novel regular polygon-based AAP<br>placement algorithm. We also determine an accurate upper<br>bound on the maximum number of AAPs that could be<br>deployed in a given circular area. The effect of the AAP energy<br>consumption on the optimal placement and the analytic findings<br>are verified via numerical simulations <br>
