This paper studies the improvement of the achievable end-to-end data rate of ground users assisted with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and tethered balloons (TBs). The goal is to maximize the end-to-end throughput of a network suffering from the absence of terrestrial infrastructure. First, we solve an integer linear programming problem to optimize the associations. Then, we solve the UAVsb' transmit powers optimally by converting the problem into a convex one. Subsequently, an efficient algorithm is proposed to optimize the UAVs’ placement. Finally, our mathematical formalism is illustrated with some selected numerical results that show the advantages provided by our proposed scheme.Citation
