  Unlike aerial base station enabled by a single unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV),
aerial coordinated multiple points (CoMP) can be enabled by a UAV swarm. In
this case, the management of multiple UAVs is important. This paper considers
the power allocation strategy for a UAV swarm-enabled aerial network to enhance
the physical layer security of the downlink transmission, where an eavesdropper
moves following the trajectory of the swarm for better eavesdropping. Unlike
existing works, we use only the large-scale channel state information (CSI) and
maximize the secrecy throughput in a whole-trajectory-oriented manner. The
overall transmission energy constraint on each UAV and the total transmission
duration for all the legitimate users are considered. The non-convexity of the
formulated problem is solved by using max-min optimization with iteration. Both
the transmission power of desired signals and artificial noise (AN) are derived
iteratively. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of
our proposed power allocation algorithm and to show the advantage of aerial
CoMP by using only the large-scale CSI.
