Abstract. In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployment framework based on machine learning is studied. It aims to maximize the sum of the weights of the ground users covered by UAVs while UAVs forming a connected communication graph. We focus on the case where the number of UAVs is not necessarily enough to cover all ground users. We develop an UAV Deployment Deep Neural network (mod) as a UAV's deployment deep network method. Simulation results demonstrate that mod can serve as a computationally inexpensive replacement for traditionally expensive optimization algorithms in real-time tasks and outperform the state-of-the-art traditional algorithms.
