UAV-enabled optimal position selection for secure and precise wireless transmission

In this letter, two unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) optimal position selection schemes are proposed. Based on the proposed schemes, the optimal UAV transmission positions for secure precise wireless transmission (SPWT) are given, where the maximum secrecy rate (SR) can be achieved without artificial noise (AN). In conventional SPWT schemes, the transmission location is not considered which impacts the SR a lot. The proposed schemes find the optimal transmission positions based on putting the eavesdropper at the null point. Thus, the received confidential message energy at the eavesdropper is zero, and the maximum SR achieves. Simulation results show that proposed schemes have improved the SR performance significantly.
