Abstract
Systems and methods are described for positioning a Low Altitude Platform Station (LAPS) based drone cells for supporting communication in a 3GPP network. The methods may include receiving at least one feedback parameter from a UE pertaining to a current network traffic flow and mobility with respect of the UE. The UE is selected for an aerial network through a drone base station (DBS) cell based on service requirement determined from the feedback parameter. Further, a position for at least one DBS-cell is determined with respect to the at least one selected UE based on the at least one parameter to serve the selected UE. An aerial-communication link is established between the selected UE and the DBS cell by deploying one or more LAPS as a drone base station (DBS) in accordance with the determined position of DBS-cell to thereby augment a network connectivity of the selected UE.
