In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have witnessed widespread utilization across many different commercial and industrial applications, including remote sensing, disaster management, and functioning as aerial base stations [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. While many of these applications can be implemented using a single UAV, employing multiple UAVs as a swarm brings numerous advantages in terms of cost, effectiveness, and fault tolerance [1,3]. The successful deployment of a UAV swarm in these applications require
sreliable communication between the UAVs and the ground control station (GCS), as well as among the UAVs themselves. Therefore, before a UAV swarm is deployed, the communication reliability at the physical layer, which is defined by the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the received signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) for each link in the network, needs to be modeled [7]. This underscores the importance of deriving the probability density function (PDF) of the SINR for each link in the UAV swarm network in order to obtain the CDF.
