This work considers a spherical array (SA)-based dual-hop massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) system using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as an amplify-and-forward (AF) relay between the base station (BS) and Internet of Things (IoT) gateway. We propose a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based UAV deployment technique to maximize the total achievable rate by considering joint optimization of UAV location, hybrid beamforming (HBF) at two terminal nodes, and analog beamforming/combining at the UAV relay. Additionally, we employ singular value decomposition (SVD) of the channel matrices to form the transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) stages of the UAV relay, and an orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP)-based algorithmic approach to the HBF for the BS and the gateway. The illustrative results show that our proposed joint beamforming scheme for two distinct SA configurations significantly improves spectral and energy efficiencies, and outperforms uniform rectangular arrays (URAs).
