In this paper, an airborne multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system is investigated, consisting of multiple users sources, multiple users destinations, and an aerial platform acting as a decode-and-forward (DF) relay. In this context, a novel three-dimensional (3-D) geometry-based optimization method for the relay location is proposed and expressions for the outage probability are presented. The results highlight the impact of the relay position, power allocation, fading severity, and number of antennas on the system performance.
