Abstract

Non-Orthogonal Multiplex Access (NOMA) can be deployed in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks to improve spectrum efficiency. Due to the broadcasting feature of NOMA-UAV networks, it is essential to focus on the security of the wireless system. This paper focuses on maximizing the secrecy sum rate under the constraint of the achievable rate of the legitimate channels. To tackle the non-convexity optimization problem, a reinforcement learning-based alternative optimization algorithm is proposed.

Firstly, with the help of successive convex approximations, the optimal power allocation scheme with a given UAV trajectory is obtained by using convex optimization tools. Afterwards, through plenty of explorations of the wireless environment, the Q-learning networks approach the optimal location transition strategy of the UAV, even without the wireless channel state information.
