A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product are provided for positioning an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) in a long term evolution radio access network. The method includes acquiring, by a processor-device, a position of the UAV with a global position system. The method also includes determining, by the processor-device, physical distances from the UAV to each of a plurality of user equipment (UE) responsive to a time-of-flight from the UAV to each of the plurality of UE. The method additionally includes generating, by the processor-device, radio environment maps for each of the plurality of UE with signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) from each of the plurality of UEs to the UAV. The method further includes selecting, by the processor-device, a determined position for the UAV as a position with a minimum SNR in the REMs. The method also includes commanding the UAV to move to the determined position.
