## Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-aided terrestrial cellular networks is being considered as one of the disruptive technologies that can address the beyond 5G (B5G)/6G requirements. With mobile UAVs, since locations of the serving UAVs and the interfering UAVs can vary over time, interference and other performance metrics become temporally correlated. In this letter, we analyze the effect of temporal correlation on the joint success probability and the distribution of the number of interferers for mobile UAV networks. The analytical results will be useful, for example, to design error recovery protocols in these networks.
