Dynamic Synergy: Leveraging RIS and Reinforcement Learning for Secure, Adaptive Underlay Cognitive Radio Networks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have recently been employed to facilitate communication and improve performance by reflecting signals through configuring phase shifts toward the intended destination. This article examines the physical layer security of an underlay cognitive radio network aided by an RIS and in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers. The research is conducted under practical conditions, encompassing RIS hardware constraints and cascaded fading channels. An optimization problem is proposed with the objective of maximizing the secrecy rate of secondary users by optimizing the reflection angles of the RIS and the transmission power of the secondary user transmitter. A deep reinforcement learning method, specifically the soft actor-critic, is presented as a solution. The results section demonstrates the effect of altering the number of RIS elements on security. We also analyze the impact of hardware limitations and cascade levels on the secrecy rate. The effect of varying the number of eavesdroppers and the maximum permissible transmission power are also examined.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
