When an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) network is utilized as an aerial small base station (BS), like a relay deployed far away from macro BSs, existing multicast methods based on acknowledgement (ACK) feedback and retransmissions may encounter severe delay and signaling overhead due to hostile wireless environments caused by a long-distance propagation and numerous UAVs.
