[0002] Cell-free massive MIMO technology can use densely deployed access points to eliminate cell boundary restrictions and effectively alleviate the serious inter-cell interference in traditional massive MIMO systems. RIS integrates a large number of low-cost passive reflective elements with phase shift controllers to reflect the incident signal in the desired direction, and by adjusting the phase of the reflective element, it can effectively increase the signal strength of the target user and weaken the signal strength of the eavesdropper.

[0003] However, due to the inherent broadcast nature of wireless signals, any user in a cell-free massive MIMO system can theoretically receive wireless signals and initiate eavesdropping. The working mode of APs collaborating and trusting each other brings higher communication risks to eavesdroppers in cell-free massive MIMO.

[0143] Example 2

[0144] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Based on the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides an application comparison case of a non-cellular massive MIMO UAV RIS security deployment method to illustrate the feasibility and beneficial effects of our solution.

[0145] Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is a curve chart showing the change of the security rate with the number of APs M under the UAV RIS security deployment method of the non-cellular massive MIMO system, and a comparison of the effects of three UAV RIS deployment schemes.

[0146] exist Figure 2 The accuracy of the analysis results of the present invention is verified. The simulated safety rate is compared with the average safety rate under different user numbers k1, k2, k3 and AP antenna number M in the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the simulation and theory are highly consistent and follow a monotonically increasing trend, which proves the correctness of the average safety rate in the present invention. In addition, it can be found that as the number of APs in the area increases, the received signal strength of the target user also increases, and its safety rate increases accordingly; when the number of APs is constant, the safety rate decreases as the total number of users increases. This is because when the number of users increases, the interference between users in the system area becomes more serious.

[0147] exist Figure 3 In order to more clearly show the effectiveness of the proposed safety deployment scheme, the safety rates under three deployment schemes are compared: no RIS, UAV RIS with random phase offset and position, and UAV RIS with optimal phase offset and position. The results show that even if non-optimized random values ​​are used for the phase offset and position of the UAV RIS, the safety rate is significantly improved compared to the scheme without RIS assistance. When the optimal UAV RIS phase offset and position of the optimized scheme is used, the safety rate can be further significantly improved. It can be seen that UAV RIS has a significant improvement effect on the physical layer security of the system, and the proposed UAV RIS deployment method has further explored the potential of UAV RIS in improving physical layer security.
