摘要

En 中文
Leveraging their mobility and feasibility, Autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs) present a promising solution for assisting covert communications to mitigate the risk of eavesdropping. However, existing studies mainly rely on passive optimization, where the AAV adjusts its transmit parameters according to the channel state, without actively balancing covertness constraints and average system throughput. To solve the above challenge, we propose for the first time a AAV relay-assisted covert communication framework with a buffer. Specifically, we derive the optimal detection threshold for the eavesdropper with mobility and uncertain locations, and obtain a closed-form solution for the lowest detection error probability. To solve the formulated average system throughput maximization problem, we transform the covertness constraint into a tractable analytical form, and obtain the optimal transmit power for both the AAV relay and the friendly AAV jammer. Then, through a rigorous theoretical analysis of upper and lower bounds on average system throughput, we prove the existence of optimal AAV trajectories. Finally, optimal transmission and reception decisions of the AAV relay are derived under covertness and buffer size constraints. Numerical results and theoretical analysis demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of average system throughput and covert performance.
