Abstract: | This paper considers an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted mobile edge computing (MEC) system, in which the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is applied to enhance the performance of the wireless transmission. The role of the UAV is twofold: (1) It is equipped with a MEC server and receives computing tasks from ground users and IRS at the same time; (2) It sends interference signals to counter the potential eavesdropper. Here, the UAV is working as a full duplex equipment, i.e., sending and receiving meanwhile. We comprehensively considered the flight speed constraint of the UAV, the total mission data constraint and the minimum security rate constraint of multiple users on the ground. The phase matrix constraints of IRS are also considered. Our system is dedicated to maximizing the efficiency of secure computing. The formulated problem is highly non-convex, we consider to propose an alternative optimization algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme not only achieves higher safe computing efficiency, but also has better performance in terms of energy consumption and security rate. |
