With the development of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) industry, more and more fields are involved such as multimedia data. Currently, users rely on videos and images with high data volume, so it has brought more challenges for wireless communication and transmission. For multimedia data, it is obviously different from traditional communication data. So new method is required to solve the problem of high data volume in communication. The proactive content caching and the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) relaying techniques are deployed over IoT network, enabling the maximum throughput for the served IoT devices. Even though these two existing technologies are important to solve the problem of throughput, there are still other challenges for efficiently improving the system throughput. We mainly study the cache-enabled UAV to maximize throughput among IoT devices in the IoT with the placement of content caching and UAV location. Especially, we divide the joint optimization problem into two parts. First, the UAV deployment problem is decomposed into vertical and horizontal dimensions to ensure the optimal deployment height and 2-D position. The enumeration search method is employed to obtain the 2-D position. Then, we also formulate a concave problem for probabilistic caching placement. Experimental results have indicated that the cache-enabled UAV scheme can obtain a better throughput, which can bring new approach for multimedia data throughput maximization in IoT system.
