Environment-Aware Drone-Base-Station Placements in Modern Metropolitans.

Unmanned aerial vehicles, i.e., drones, have recently caught attention for providing on-demand capacity to wireless networks as drone-base-stations (drone-BSs). Many studies assume simplified channel models based on average characteristics of the environment to estimate the placement of drone-BSs. However, especially in urban areas, positioning of drone-BSs with respect to intersections and roof-t...
