Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also called drones, are planes operated by unmanned aircraft and controlled remotely via built-in computers or remote control. Their applications span from surveillance to delivery, and even agriculture to communications. Battery life and range limitations may limit the operational time of UAVs. They can create privacy issues, security risks, and potential threats to air traffic and public safety if not properly regulated. NB-IoT networks are addressed by the USC-WBND approach using semi-permanent scheduling (SPS) and shorter transmission time intervals (TTI). Using a fixed 1ms TTI can reduce latency and allocate resources more efficiently while decreasing the number of OFDM symbols. Relay requests for scheduling resources are eliminated in SPS, resulting in reduced latency for devices with regular transmissions. Moreover, the user's information, login details, and device settings along with GPS tracking are all managed by a cloud-based display platform, which allows for tailored access and precise location tracking. By visualizing UAV distribution in 2D and 3D, it is possible to select the most suitable drone locations to minimize interference and enhance coverage. A 2D technique is concerned with determining height and location, while another 3D approach employs a game of matching to find the most suitable UAVs for different user densities and interference. This mathematical modeling and algorithm aim to find the best placement for UAVs, maximize coverage by IoT nodes, and provide optimal service quality. The proposed strategies improve network efficiency, reduce interference, and optimize the placement of data transmission relays, providing significant advances in smart city environments. The main issues in NB-IoT and UAV deployments are addressed through this comprehensive approach, which seeks to address network performance problems by enhancing connectivity and decreasing latency. IoT communication is a crucial aspect of smart city infrastructure, and its USC-WBND model architecture provides dependable communications solutions. Results are calculated by measuring the parameters like energy efficiency, packet drop, throughput, average delay, and network overhead. © 2025 IEEE.
