How can I solve this error "Array indices must be positive integers or logical values." and make a condition to fix it as index?

I want make the condition in the line 40th somthing like ,,,, if mindistD > maxrange^2 and mindistD<maxrangeD2 and then fix it in last line of code such as r_DxU = dist_D_UE( condition), but I couldn't find a way, I would appreciate any help

[Kevin Holly]

mindistD > maxrange^2 and mindistD<maxrangeD2 gave no results. Is it suppose to be mindistD < maxrange^2 and mindistD>maxrangeD2?

If so, you could do the following:

dist_D_UE(mindistD < maxrange^2 & mindistD>maxrangeD2,1)

Note, there are two columns in dist_D_UE

Thank you for your reply, But I want to consider only the users that are located between these ranges 200m and 250 can be interfered by the Drone Node Not consider all users out of 200 can be interfered by this Drone Node as showed in the figure. I hope this figure let you get my point, please don't hesitate to ask me if you need any clarification
