RedCap.

This paper investigated how to increase the number of connections among users in hierarchical non-terrestrial networks (HNTNs) assisted disaster relief service (DRS). We aim to maximize the number of satisfactory connections (NSCs) by optimizing the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) radio resources, computing resources, and trajectory at each time slot. In particular, the UAVs are exploited as aerial base stations (ABSs) to provide a link for the reduced capability (RedCap) user equipment (UE) based on power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA).
