Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Visible light communication (VLC) technology has recently found its place in vehicular networks due to the increasing availability of LED lights in automobiles, license free spectrum, high capacity and channel security. In this work, we propose a UAV assisted vehicular network where the UAV provides downlink services to a group cars in the network using NOMA-OFDM-VLC. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system through experiments and computer simulations. We further present optimization of the location of UAV to maximize the SNRs at the receivers and demonstrate improved bit-error-rate (BER) and throughput.
