“…A dynamic power allocation and an aerial jamming technique for UAV-assisted NOMA communication networks have been studied by the authors in [178] to enhance the reliability and security in the presence of a terrestrial eavesdropper. Whereas the authors in [179] have considered an ultra-dense heterogeneous network of cache-aided UAVs employing power domain NOMA protocol and IoT-mobile devices.…”

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been instrumental in enabling many new applications and services, including military and rescue operations, aerial surveillance, civilian applications, precision farming, as well as providing extensive wireless network access in remote areas. They have also been used in other areas such as transmission line and oil rig monitoring, disaster recovery, etc. With their increasing payload ability and flight duration, using UAVs is a preferred choice for a multitude of upcoming wireless communication systems. However, because of their open operational nature, UAVs are highly vulnerable to severe security breaches via cyber attacks, eavesdropping on navigational and communication links, etc. Given their widespread applications, the requirement of secured UAV communications has become more and more critical since security failures can lead to detrimental consequences. Several works have examined the extent of privacy and security issues in UAV-assisted networks and introduced various mitigation techniques to address different security challenges. In this paper, a comprehensive survey is conducted that centers on the security issues related to UAV-aided networks. A descriptive taxonomy of various security intrusions on the UAV networks and commonly-used secrecy performance metrics are thoroughly reviewed. An in-depth discussion is provided on alleviating threats with proactive security techniques blended with key wireless communication technologies such as mmWave, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), and cognitive radio. Moreover, several emerging topics like machine learning, software-defined networks, fog and edge computing, blockchain, are discussed in the context of UAV-aided secure communications.INDEX TERMS Physical layer security, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), proactive mitigation techniques, secrecy metrics, emerging wireless technologies.GAURAV KUMAR PANDEY (Graduate Student Member, IEEE) received the B.Tech. degree in electrical and electronics engineering from the

“…In [133] and [134], optimization problems were formulated to maximize the average secrecy rates of the integrated aerial-terrestrial transmissions, by jointly optimizing the UAV's trajectory, and the transmit power. Most recently, authors in [135], formulated a joint power allocation and aerial jamming problem to achieve reliable and secure communications for the UAV-enabled NOMA communication system in the presence of a malicious eavesdropper. Specifically, the main idea of secure beamforming is to compute the optimal beamforming vector for achieving some performance metrics of physical layer security by enhancing the signal quality at the destination node and decreasing the signal quality at the eavesdropper while optimizing the 3D path planning of aerial nodes.…”

“…COP mainly describes the likelihood that the legitimate receiver (Bob) cannot decode transmitted codewords, and SOP gives the possibility that the eavesdropper (Eve) cannot be confused by secrecy redundancy after the k-th transmission. They indicate the reliability and security, respectively, while secrecy rate shows the overall secure performance [ 14 , 15 ]. For example, Yang et al developed a closed-form solution of SOP and identified a corresponding asymptotic value in an IRS-assisted communication system using CLT [ 16 ].…”

This paper analyzes the physical layer security performance of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) systems with the assistance of an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) and aims to reveal the primary factors that enhance PLS. First, closed-form expressions for the connection outage probability (COP) and secrecy outage probability (SOP) in HARQ with chase combining (HARQ-CC) are acquired using the generalized-K (KG) distribution. Then, these two critical metrics are derived while adopting HARQ with incremental redundancy (HARQ-IR), resorting to the mixture gamma (MG) distribution and the Mellin transform. Diversity and coding gain are also addressed through an asymptotic analysis of the COP and SOP. Finally, an evaluation of the numerical results demonstrates that a greater gain in the main channel and the wiretap channel can be produced by increasing the number of meta-surfaces rather than increasing the maximum transmission number, except for the higher signal-to-noise (SNR) region of HARQ-IR where the latter is preferred. This finding provides a significant guidance for the joint configuration of IRS and HARQ to achieve secure communication.
