Popis: In this letter, we study the deployment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle mounted Base Stations (UAV-BSs) in multi-UAV cellular networks. We model the multi-UAV deployment problem as a user satisfaction maximization problem, that is, maximizing the proportion of served ground users (GUs) that meet a given minimum data rate requirement. We propose an interference-aware deployment (IAD) algorithm for serving arbitrarily distributed outdoor GUs. The proposed algorithm can alleviate the problem of overlapping coverage between adjacent UAV-BSs to minimize inter-cell interference. Therefore, reducing co-channel interference between UAV-BSs will improve user satisfaction and ensure that most GUs can achieve the minimum data rate requirement. Simulation results show that our proposed IAD outperforms comparative methods by more than 10% in user satisfaction in high-density environments.
