TL;DR: The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is growing rapidly across many civil application domains, including real-time monitoring, providing wireless coverage, remote sensing, search and rescue, delivery of goods, security and surveillance, precision agriculture, and civil infrastructure inspection.

TL;DR: In this paper, a particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to find an efficient 3D placement of a UAV that minimizes the total transmit power required to cover the indoor users.

TL;DR: This paper proposes using a single UAV to provide wireless coverage for indoor users inside a high-rise building under disaster situations (such as earthquakes or floods), when cellular networks are down and proposes a particle swarm optimization algorithm to find an efficient 3D placement of a UAV that minimizes the total transmit power required to cover the indoor users.

TL;DR: The results show that the upside-down arrangements of UAVs, can improve the maximum total coverage by 100% compared to providing wireless coverage from one building side when the Uavs use one channel.

TL;DR: The dynamic deployment of a single UAV as an aerial base station in providing wireless coverage for mobile outdoor and indoor users is studied and the efficient UAV trajectory is developed using two approaches, namely, heuristic and optimal approaches.
