1. A method for deploying and sharing aerial cells across a plurality of massive machine type communication (mMTC) network operators, the method comprising:
forecasting, by an mMTC aerial asset manager (AAM), data traffic across the plurality of mMTC network operators for each geographical area of a plurality of geographical areas;
generating, by the mMTC AAM, a forecasted plan based on the forecasted data traffic, and hovering time of each of a plurality of aerial cells;
deploying, by the mMTC AAM, at least one aerial cell from the plurality of aerial cells to provide coverage to at least one mMTC node in at least one geographical area of the plurality of geographical areas, based on the forecasted plan; and
sharing, by the mMTC AAM, the deployed at least one aerial cell between the plurality of mMTC network operators based on the forecasted plan.
