Research on unmanned aerial vehicle-assisted communication and information security issues based on mobile edge computing

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-assisted mobile edge computing (MEC) technology has garnered extensive attention with the widespread adoption of 5G technology, owing to its flexibility, improved system capacity and computational capabilities, and ability to overcome complex geographical environments. This paper initially elucidates the advantages of UAV-assisted MEC systems in the current communication domain, outlining the definitions of various modules within the UAV-assisted MEC architecture. Subsequently, it summarizes the main application scenarios and key technologies, providing a concise description of the design approach for UAV MEC systems and highlighting the information security issues therein. Finally, the paper discusses the challenges and prospects for future research in this field.
