Abstract

In this paper, a novel reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted HAP-UAV secure multi-user mixed radio frequency (RF)/free space optical (FSO) system is proposed. Specifically, the Gamma-Gamma distribution is utilized to characterize the atmospheric turbulence effect for the FSO link from UAV to HAP, while the Rayleigh and Nakagami- m distribution fading are applied to simulate the legitimate and wiretap RF links, respectively. We present the closed-form expressions for the probability density functions, the cumulative distribution functions, and the secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in terms of Meijer’s G-function. To gain more insight into secrecy performance, we further obtain the closed-form expressions for the asymptotic SOP, the asymptotic probability of positive secrecy capacity (PPSC), the diversity gain, and the coding gain at high SNR regions. We can observe that the secrecy performance depends on the weaker channel between the RF and FSO, and is closely related to the number of RIS elements, the number of terrestrial users, the atmospheric turbulence factor, pointing error parameters, and the fading parameter of Nakagami- m distributed wiretap link. Finally, numerical results validate the derived results and demonstrate that the proposed design achieves superior secrecy performance over the benchmarks.
