Abstract
A system for implementing a wireless communication network is provided. The system includes a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) forming a wireless multi-hop mesh network constituting a backhaul. A given one of the UAVs includes a radio access network (RAN) agent configured to determine at least one UAV configuration for optimized coverage of one or more user equipment (UE) devices in a terrestrial zone, a haul agent configured to coordinate an optimization of the backhaul based at least in part on the at least one UAV configuration determined by the RAN agent, and a core agent configured to implement a distributed core architecture among the plurality of UAVs. The system further includes a controller configured to control the plurality of UAVs based on information received from at least one of the agents.
