Abstract

This paper develops an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) deployment scheme in the context of the directional modulation-based secure precise wireless transmissions (SPWTs) to achieve more secure and more energy efficiency transmission, where the optimal UAV position for the SPWT is derived to maximize the secrecy rate (SR) without frequency diverse array (FDA) and injecting any artificial noise (AN) signaling. To be specific, the proposed scheme reveals that the optimal position of UAV for maximizing the SR performance has to be placed at the null space of Eves channel, which impels the received energy of the confidential message at the unintended receiver deteriorating to zero, whilst benefits the one at the intended receiver by achieving its maximum value. Moreover, the highly cost FDA structure is eliminated and transmit power is all allocated for transmitting a useful message which shows its energy efficiency. Finally, simulation results verify the optimality of our proposed scheme in terms of the achievable SR performance.
