Maximizing Proportional Fairness in Aerial IoT Networks through Joint Trajectory Planning, User Association, Resource Allocation, and Power Control

The core message of this article is to propose a non-iterative optimization framework that jointly optimizes the trajectory of an aerial base station and the radio resource management (user association, resource allocation, and power control) to maximize the proportional fairness in an aerial IoT network, while considering practical end-to-end quality-of-service requirements.
