Abstract

This paper addresses the enhancement of physical layer security in multibeam satellite systems through the deployment of aerial reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (ARIS). We aim to maximize the sum achievable rate across multiple groups, subject to constraints on wiretap rates, by jointly optimizing the transmission beamforming and ARIS passive beamforming. We propose an alternating optimization framework, where the transmission beamforming and passive beamforming are optimized using semidefinite programming. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ARIS-assisted multibeam satellite systems can significantly enhance secure communication performance under various eavesdropping scenarios.
