In Flying Adhoc NETwork (FANET), the communications between Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), UAVs to infrastructure, and UAVs to wireless sensors are crucial design factors. With strict energy constrain during flying operation, the allocation of power and resources, the flying strategy, and the medium access mechanism shall be effectively used. When employing cellular network as backhaul for UAVs, the flying height of UAVs not only affects the communication between UAVs and end users on the ground, but also determines the reception between infrastructure (base stations from the cellular network) to UAVs. In this paper, we optimize the flying height of UAVs for better reception from the cellular network by using stochastic geometry analysis to model the aggregated interference at the UAV side. The network system performance is also examined under the effect of fading-less channel and Rayleigh fading channel.
