Securing Mobile Multiuser Transmissions With UAVs in the Presence of Multiple Eavesdroppers.

This paper analyzes the problem of securing the transmissions of multiple mobile users against eavesdropping attacks. We propose and optimize the deployment of a single unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which serves as an aerial relay (AR) between the user cluster and the base station. The focus is on maximizing the secrecy energy efficiency by jointly optimizing the uplink transmission powers of the ground users and the position of the UAV. The joint optimization problem is nonconvex; therefore we split it into two subproblems and solve them using an iterative algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
