Abstract
In this contribution we consider the problem of optimal drone positioning for improving the 1 operation of a mobile ad hoc network. We build upon our previous results devoted to the application 2 of game-theoretic methods for computing optimal strategies. One specific problem that arises in this 3 context is that the optimal solution cannot be uniquely determined. In this case, one has to use some 4 other criteria to choose the best (in some sense) of all optimal solutions. It is argued that centrality 5 measures as well as node ranking can provide a good criterion for the selection of a unique solution. 6 We showed that for two specific networks most criteria yielded the same solution thus demonstrating 7 good coherence in their predictions. 8
