Secure UAV-to-UAV Systems With Spatially Random UAVs

In this letter, we investigate the secrecy performance of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) -to-UAV system, where a UAV acts as the source (S) transmitting information to a legitimate UAV receiver while a group of UAVs trying to eavesdrop the information delivery between S and legitimate UAV receiver. The locations of the legitimate UAV receiver and the eavesdropping UAVs are randomly distributed in the coverage space of S. We first characterize the statistical characteristics of the signal-to-noise ratio over S to the legitimate UAV receiver links; and then the closed-form analytical expressions for secrecy outage probability and the average secrecy capacity have also been derived accordingly. Finally, Monte-Carlo simulations are carried out to verify our proposed analytical models.
