  • collecting, by a processor, a location of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) while the UAV is in flight;

    receiving, by the processor, a communication signal distribution in a proximity of the UAV detected by one or more mobile signal detectors; and

    determining, by the processor, one or more locations for arranging one or more relays based on the communication signal distribution to improve communication signal coverage along a flight path of the UAV, the one or more locations being one or more fixed locations where a quality of public communications signal exceeds a first threshold value, and a signal coverage of the one or more relays arranged at the one or more fixed locations include one or more areas in which the quality of public communications signal is below a second threshold value.
