In this paper, we propose a novel optimization model for multiple Unmanned Areal Vehicles (UAVs) working as relays and helping Device-to-Device (D2D) communications at the same time. The goal of the UAVs is to operate in an energy-efficient manner while not only optimizing the available bandwidth and power allocations of the D2D links, but also act as relays when needed to maintain the communication between ground users. We formulate an optimization problem that maximizes the energy-efficient utility while respecting the resource availability including the UAVs' energy consumption, UAV-user association, and trajectory constraints. Due to the non-convexity of the problem, we propose to solve it in three steps using Taylor series approximation to optimize the power and the bandwidth, and use a heuristic algorithm for optimizing the UAVs' trajectory and UAV-user associations.
