Securing UAV Networks for Rural Areas

UAVs have been widely used in wireless communication networks due to their manoeuvrability, low cost and LoS AG links [37]. Despite the rapid development of UAV networks, there are still new challenges when UAVs implement their missions in rural areas. Due to the dominant LoS links, legitimate UAV communications are more susceptible to wiretapping or interference caused by ground eavesdroppers (GEs) or jammers [38], which may lead to the failure of UAV missions.
