Abstract

As unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication has been widely used in all walks of life, its secrecy issue has also received more and more attention. This article studies the physical-layer security of UAV relaying communication system in multiterminal Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios. Specifically, while receiving the information from the ground base station, the UAV safely forwards the information to one of a group of IoT terminals in the presence of an eavesdropper. Under the constraints of information causality and UAV mobility, our goal is to maximize the minimum average secrecy rate among all IoT terminals. Based on the nonconvex problem, this article proposes a high-efficiency algorithm for joint optimization of UAV trajectory and resource allocation. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm not only effectively improves information secrecy of IoT terminals, but also enhances the fairness of communication between the IoT terminals.
