A Polar Coding Scheme for Achieving Secrecy of Fading Wiretap Channels in UAV Communications
Author
Abstract

The high maneuverability of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), facilitating fast and flexible deployment of communication infrastructures, brings potentially valuable opportunities to the future wireless communication industry. Nevertheless, UAV communication networks are faced with severe security challenges since air to ground (A2G) communications are more vulnerable to eavesdropping attacks than terrestrial communications. To solve the problem, we propose a coding scheme that hierarchically utilizes polar codes in order to address channel multi-state variation for UAV wiretap channels, without the instantaneous channel state information (CSI) known at the transmitter. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the scheme achieves the security capacity of the channel and meets the conditions of reliability and security.
