UAV-Assisted Data Dissemination in Delay-Constrained VANETs
Open accessAbstract
Due to the high mobility of vehicles, the frequent path failures caused by dynamic network topology, and a variety of obstructions, efficient data dissemination with delay constraint in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is a challenging issue. To address these problems, a novel mobile relaying technique by employing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is considered to facilitate data dissemination in vehicular environments where the communication infrastructures are not available or the network connectivity is poor. This paper studies and formulates the throughput maximization problem in UAV-assisted VANETs, which aims to achieve high throughput while guarantee the delay constraint of data flows to the vehicles in the area. To maximize the network throughput, the maximization problem tries to find an optimal delivery strategy for data dissemination by optimizing the transmission rate. To solve the problem, the knapsack problem can be reduced to the maximization problem, which is proved NP-hard. A polynomial time approximation scheme is proposed to achieve an approximate solution. Detailed theoretical analysis including time complexity and approximation ratio of the proposed algorithm is presented. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
