  Drone base stations (DBSs) have recently gained wide popularity as a possible
solution to provide wireless connectivity in a variety of scenarios, for
example, in inaccessible terrains such as connectivity over vast areas of a
water body or in rural areas where the physical deployment of base stations is
not feasible at the moment, also in the case of terrestrial infrastructure
failure where DBSs can be rapidly deployed to re-establish communication
channel. In this paper we propose an algorithm for controlling the motion of
the DBSs which maximizes the number of DBS to mobile ground node connections.
The overlap extent between the drones is limited to reduce the count of
redundant connections. The overall approach aims at minimizing the number of
drones required to be deployed in a given region by maximizing connectivity per
drone.
