The invention discloses a hidden communication method for assisting unmanned aerial vehicle
relay based on a buffer area, and the method achieves the maximization of the average
throughput of a
system through the introduction of the buffer area, and meets the hidden detection constraint of an eavesdropper. Aiming at the characteristics that the position of an eavesdropper is uncertain and the eavesdropper has mobility, the optimal
detection threshold of the eavesdropper is deduced, and then a
closed expression for detecting error probability is obtained. In the aspect of
system optimization, the concealment constraint is converted into a new form, an optimal transmitting power distribution scheme of an unmanned aerial vehicle
relay and a friendly unmanned aerial vehicle jammer is designed, and the balance between the communication concealment and
throughput is ensured. Meanwhile, the existence of the optimal unmanned aerial vehicle track is proved by analyzing the upper and lower bounds of the
throughput of the
system, and the optimal receiving and transmitting strategy of the unmanned aerial vehicle
relay is provided by combining the size constraint of the buffer area. Numerical
simulation and theoretical analysis results show that the method has remarkable effects in improving the average throughput of the system and guaranteeing the communication concealment.
