Deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as flying base stations (FlyBSs) is considered as an efficient tool to enhance capacity of mobile networks and to facilitate communication in emergency cases. The improvement provided by such network requires a dynamic positioning of the FlyBSs with respect to the mobile users. In this paper, we focus on an optimization of transmission power of the FlyBS in networks with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). We propose a solution jointly positioning the FlyBS and selecting the optimal grouping of users for NOMA in order to minimize the FlyBS’s transmission power under the constraint on guaranteeing a minimum required capacity for the mobile users. Moreover, we derive the grouping of users corresponding to the optimal transmission power in a low-degree polynomial time, which makes it suitable for real-time applications. According to the simulations, the proposed method brings up to 31% of FlyBS’s transmission power saving compared to existing solutions.
