An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) uses a first baseband processor to establish a first communication link with a ground network cell and a second baseband processor that establishes a second communication link with a user device. The second baseband processor is communicatively coupled to the first baseband processor such that the user device exchanges communication data with the core network via the first communication link and the second communication link. Flight-control hardware steers the UAV along a flight trajectory that is determined by a ground-based UAV controller based at least on a geolocation of the user device. The second baseband processor establishes the second communication link with the user device while the first baseband processor maintains the first communication link with the ground network cell.
