AI Article Synopsis
- Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly popular for their flexibility and ability to move in three dimensions.
- This study focuses on using UAVs with visible light communication (VLC) to enhance data transmission rates, introducing a new algorithm for optimal deployment.
- Simulation results show that this new method outperforms current UAV deployment strategies in terms of data rate and coverage, while also addressing issues like solar-induced noise and signal loss.
Article Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gained significant attention in recent years due to their exceptional adaptability and maneuverability. This paper investigates the three-dimensional (3D) deployment of UAVs equipped with visible light communication (VLC) capabilities, aiming to maximize the sum data rate. To this end, the system model is established and an efficient algorithm is proposed, with detailed analyses of the computational complexity. Besides, the simulation results indicate the proposed method achieves the best performance in both the sum data rate and the coverage ratio, compared to existing UAV deployment algorithms. Moreover, the effects of both the shot noise induced by the periodic solar radiation and the attenuation of optical signals are also discussed.
