A Novel Mining Approach for Data Analysis and Processing Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Algorithm 1

Proposed algorithm for efficient UAV 3-D placement.

	1 Efficient UAV 3-D Placement
	2 Input:
	3 : min. and max. UAV height. , : MIN. and MAX. dimensionalities of the 2-D region.
	4 Initialization: z1 = total_pathloss from users to UAV; z2 = total_pathloss from UAV to GCs;
	5 For (h =  , x =  , y =  )
	6 for All users (U): ) Apply PSO to find 3-D UAV placement that minimizes z 1; ) Find z2;
	7 end
	8 If z1 z2, then  =  +1;
	9 Go to Step 3
	10 else
	11 Efficient 3-D UAV placement =
	12 end
	13  is the efficient 3-D UAV placement at minimum pathloss between users and UAV that satisfying the constraint in (7a).
