      Optimization of UAV-RIS-assisted low-altitude uplink secure transmission

      • 摘要: 随着低空经济的蓬勃发展,搭载可重构智能表面(reconfigurable intelligent surface, RIS)的无人机(unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV)有望成为构建空地一体化安全通信的关键技术。本文聚焦多地面设备经UAV-RIS中继向基站进行上行数据传输的场景,研究窃听者存在下的物理层安全传输问题。旨在满足服务质量(quality of service, QoS)及UAV移动约束下,通过联合优化地面设备发射功率、RIS相移矩阵、UAV二维轨迹及基站接收波束赋形,最大化系统平均安全和速率。鉴于该问题的非凸特性及变量强耦合性,提出基于块坐标下降(block coordinate descent, BCD)的交替迭代优化算法。具体利用逐次凸近似(successive convex approximation, SCA)处理功率分配差凸结构;采用流形优化解决RIS相移单位模约束;结合信赖域SCA将UAV轨迹优化转化为凸子问题;基于广义瑞利商(generalized Rayleigh quotient, GRQ)推导出基站接收波束赋形闭式解。仿真表明,所提方案较固定轨迹、随机相移及无RIS基准方案,平均安全和速率分别提升35%、57%和73.5%,验证了UAV-RIS协同架构与联合优化策略在提升低空安全通信性能的有效性。

         

        Abstract: With the booming development of the low-altitude economy, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) equipped with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are expected to become a key technology for constructing air-ground integrated secure communications. This paper investigates physical layer security transmission in a scenario where multiple ground devices transmit uplink data to a base station via a UAV-RIS relay in the presence of an eavesdropper. Specifically, the average secrecy sum rate is maximized by jointly optimizing the transmit power of ground devices, the phase shift matrix of the RIS, the two-dimensional (2D) flight trajectory of the UAV, and the receive beamforming of the base station, subject to the quality of service (QoS) requirements and UAV mobility constraints. To address the non-convexity and high coupling of variables in the formulated problem, an alternating iterative optimization algorithm based on block coordinate descent (BCD) is proposed. In particular, the successive convex approximation (SCA) is employed to handle the difference-of-convex (DC) structure in power allocation; the manifold optimization algorithm is adopted to tackle the unit-modulus constraints of the RIS phase shifts; the UAV trajectory optimization is transformed into a convex subproblem by incorporating the trust-region-based SCA; and a closed-form solution for the base station receive beamforming is derived based on the generalized Rayleigh quotient (GRQ) criterion. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme improves the average secrecy sum rate by 35%, 57%, and 73.5% compared to the fixed trajectory, random phase shift, and without RIS baseline schemes, respectively. This validates the effectiveness of the UAV-RIS cooperative architecture and the joint optimization strategy in enhancing the performance of low-altitude secure communications.
