Abstract
This paper tackles the fundamental passive eavesdropping problem in modern
wireless communications in which the location and the channel state information
(CSI) of the attackers are unknown. In this regard, we propose deploying an
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that serves as a mobile aerial relay (AR) to help
ground base station (GBS) support a subset of vulnerable users. More precisely,
our solution (1) clusters the single-antenna users in two groups to be either
served by the GBS directly or via the AR, (2) employs optimal multi-user
beamforming to the directly served users, and (3) optimizes the AR's 3D
position, its multi-user beamforming matrix and transmit powers by combining
closed-form solutions with machine learning techniques. Specifically, we design
a plain beamforming and power optimization combined with a deep reinforcement
learning (DRL) algorithm for an AR to optimize its trajectory for the security
maximization of the served users. Numerical results show that the multi-user
multiple input, single output (MU-MISO) system split between a GBS and an AR
with optimized transmission parameters without knowledge of the eavesdropping
channels achieves high secrecy capacities that scale well with increasing the
number of users.
