Integrating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as user equipment (UE) andbase-stations (BSs) into an existing LTE-Advanced heterogeneous network(HetNet) can further enhance wireless connectivity and support emergingservices. However, this would require effective configuration of system-leveldesign parameters for interference management. This paper provides system-levelinsights into a three-tier LTEAdvanced air/ground HetNet, wherein the UAVs aredeployed both as BSs and UEs, and co-exist with existing terrestrial nodes.Moreover, this HetNet leverages on cell range expansion (CRE), intercellinterference coordination (ICIC), 3D beamforming, and enhanced support forUAVs. Through Monte-Carlo simulations, we compare system-wide fifth percentilespectral efficiency (5pSE) and coverage probability for different ICICtechniques, while jointly optimizing the ICIC and CRE parameters. Our resultsshow that reduced power subframes defined in 3GPP Rel-11 can provideconsiderably better 5pSE and coverage probability than the 3GPP Rel-10 withalmost blank subframes.
