Title：Secure Communication in UAV-assisted Mobile Edge Computing Networks

Abstract：Equipped with mobile edge computing (MEC) servers on UAVs, it can not only save the cost of installing physical infrastructure on the ground and overcome the limitations and shortcomings of ground edge computing, but also achieve fast and timely processing of computing tasks for terminal devices, improve user service quality, and reduce consumption of wireless resources. However, due to the broadcast characteristics of wireless communications, it is easy for malicious users to eavesdrop on the data offloaded from terminal devices to UAVs, which poses a great risk to the secure transmission of data. In this talk, I would like to discuss the data secure transmission issue in UAV-assisted MEC systems and provide a security guarantee mechanism for data offloading from the perspective of physical layer security. Through exploring the inherent connection between data offloading and data secure transmission, to bring the advantages of fast task processing brought by UAV-assisted MEC, while satisfying data security guarantee and service quality requirement.
