Abstract-Toaddress theever-growingconnectivitydemand incommunications, the
adoption of ingenious solutions, suchas utilization ofunmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)as
mobile basestations, is imperative. In general, the locationof aUAVbasestation (UAV-BS) is
determinedbyoptimizationalgorithms, whichhavehighcomputationally complexitiesand
arehard to runonUAVsdueto energyconsumptionandtimeconstraints. In thisarticle,we
overview theUAV-BStrajectory optimizationproblemfor nextgenerationwireless networks
andshowthataconvolutional neural network(CNN)modelcanbe trained to infer the location
of aUAV-BS in real time. To this end,wecreateaframework todeterminetheUAV-BS
locations considering thedeployment ofmobile users (MUs)to generate labelsbyusing the
data obtained fromanoptimizationalgorithm. Performanceevaluations reveal that oncethe
CNNmodel is trained with thegiven labelsand locations of MUs,theproposedapproach is,
indeed, capableof approximating the results givenby theadoptedoptimization algorithm with
high fidelity,outperforming reinforcement learning-basedapproachesin resource-constrained
settings.Wealso explore future researchchallengesandhighlight key issues.
