Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are a potential platform for deploying millimeter wave (mmWave) base stations. Their high spatial flexibility makes them an attractive choice for the deployment in disaster management scenarios, and for offloading in crowded areas. Apart from the stringent propagation requirements of mmWaves, one challenge that has to be addressed is the limited power onboard a UAV, which is used to hover and move the device, and of course, to transmit data. In this paper, we deal with the deployment of UAVs with an aim to minimising their displacement in subsequent time. We take into consideration user mobility, and propose LazyUAV, a Set-Cover based geometric approach to minimise UAV displacement, while maintaining maximal coverage. Via extensive simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
