Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paradigm of cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communications assisted by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is poised to revolutionize the future of sixth-generation (6G) intelligent transportation systems, as outlined by the international mobile telecommunication (IMT)-2030 vision. This integration of UAV-assisted C-V2X communications is set to enhance mobility and connectivity, creating a smarter and reliable autonomous transportation landscape. The UAV-assisted C-V2X networks enable hyper-reliable and low-latency vehicular communications for 6G applications including augmented reality, immersive reality and virtual reality, real-time holographic mapping support, and futuristic infotainment services. This paper presents a Markov chain model to study a third-generation partnership project (3GPP)-specified C-V2X network communicating with a flying UAV for task offloading in a Federated Learning (FL) environment. We evaluate the impact of various factors such as model update frequency, queue backlog, and UAV energy consumption on different types of communication latency. Additionally, we examine the end-to-end latency in the FL environment against the latency in conventional data offloading. This is achieved by considering cooperative perception messages (CPMs) that are triggered by random events and basic safety messages (BSMs) that are periodically transmitted. Simulation results demonstrate that optimizing the transmission intervals results in a lower average delay. Also, for both scenarios, the optimal policy aims to optimize the available UAV energy consumption, minimize the cumulative queuing backlog, and maximize the UAV’s available battery power utilization. We also find that the queuing delay can be controlled by adjusting the optimal policy and the value function in the relative value iteration (RVI). Moreover, the communication latency in an FL environment is comparable to that in the gross data offloading environment based on Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
