Abstract

In this paper, multiple reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) aided secure precise wireless transmission (SPWT) schemes are proposed in the three-dimensional (3D) wireless communication scenario. Unavailable direct path channels from transmitter to receivers are considered when the direct paths are obstructed by obstacles. Then, multiple RISs are utilized to achieve SPWT through the reflection path among transmitter, RISs and receivers in order to enhance the communication performance and energy efficiency simultaneously. First, a maximum-signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (MSINR) scheme is proposed in a single user scenario. Then, the multi-user scenario is considered where the illegitimate users are regarded as eavesdroppers. A maximum-secrecy-rate (MSR) scheme and a maximum-signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio (MSLNR) are proposed. The former achieves a better secrecy rate (SR) performance but incurs a higher complexity. The latter has a lower complexity than the MSR scheme with an SR performance loss. Simulation results show that both single-user scheme and multi-user scheme can achieve SPWT which transmits confidential message precisely to location of desired users. Moreover, MSLNR scheme has a lower complexity than the MSR scheme, while the SR performance is close to that of the MSR scheme.
