This chapter aims to jointly study and optimize unmanned aerial base stations (UABSs) placement and interference coordination in air–ground heterogeneous cellular network (AG–HetNet). It begins by reviewing unmanned aerial vehicles placement and interference coordination techniques in the literature, and then discusses several use cases of UABSs for cellular networks. Next, the chapter introduces the optimal placement problem of UABS in an AG‐HetNet using the genetic algorithm. Then, it describes the UABS‐based AG‐HetNet model, different path‐loss models, and the definition of 5th percentile spectral efficiency (5pSE) as a function of network parameters. The Rayleigh fading channel is considered while presenting AG‐HetNet design guidelines. Finally, the chapter analyzes and compares the 5pSE of the HetNet using extensive computer simulations for various inter‐cell interference coordination techniques.
