ABSTRACT

Abstract

This work studies fair and secure data collection in an energy-harvesting IoT network with a server UAV and an eavesdropping UAV. It formulates the max-min secrecy-rate problem as a mixed-integer nonlinear program, derives a mixed-integer linear reformulation, and proposes the Fly Nearest Location heuristic for lower-complexity operation. The reported results show that the heuristic attains about 78.15% of the MILP benchmark on average.
