Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-aided large-scale Internet of Things (UAV-LIoT) are widely used but lack a balanced data collection (DC) scheme. To address this, we propose DC- nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA), a new DC scheme that combines machine learning clustering with NOMA. We introduce an optimization algorithm for peak density clustering and a new LIoT clustering method. Our approach dynamically adjusts cluster size and formulates the energy-time efficiency problem as a tradeoff between energy minimization and data rate maximization. We propose a heuristic algorithm based on NOMA and an intracluster DC protocol. Experimental results show that DC- NOMA achieves balanced DC time, energy efficiency, load balance, and network lifespan extension, outperforming its benchmarks.
