Secrecy Offloading Analysis of UAV-assisted NOMA-MEC Incorporating WPT in IoT Networks

This article studies the efficiency of secrecy data offloading for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-integrated mobile-edge computing (MEC) incorporating wireless power transfer (WPT) within an Internet of Things (IoT) network. Specifically, this study assumes an UAV to function in dual roles: as a mobile computation platform and as an aerial power-supply station, offering substantial advantages for resource-constrained edge devices (EDs) in mitigating interference from an passive eavesdropper. To assess the system’s secrecy offloading efficacy, the secrecy successful computation probability (SSCP) closed-formed formulation under Nakagami-m fading channel is derived. The theoretical results are conducted with a variety of parameters, thereby validating the precision of our analysis.
