Secure Transmission of UAV Control Information via NOMA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted wireless communication is a key component of the next-generation mobile networks. In coping with the increased dynamics in UAV networks, the transmission of control information is indispensable, requiring not only ultra reliability and low latency, but also high security. In this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance of the control information in a NOMA ground-air short-packet wireless network with an untrusted internal UAV or an external flying eavesdropper, respectively. Both the large-scale path loss and the Nakagami-m small-scale fading are considered. First, the closed-form expressions of the average secure block error rate (BLER) and the average achievable secrecy throughput in each scenario are derived. Then, the asymptotic performance in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime is analyzed to get more insights from both scenarios. Specifically, analytical results show that error floors occur with the increase of SNR. Moreover, a one-dimensional search is applied to maximize the average achievable secrecy throughput by optimizing the blocklength. Simulation results are provided to verify the accuracy of analysis and the effectiveness of optimization.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
