contents This paper investigates the physical-layer security in a Virtual Antenna Array (VAA)-aided Device- to-Device Multicast (D2DM) communication system, where the User Equipments (UEs) who cache the common content will form a VAA system and cooperatively multicast the content to UEs who desire it. Specifically, with the target of securing the VAA-aided D2DM communication under the threat of multiple eavesdroppers, we propose a secure beamforming scheme by jointly considering the formed VAA and the Base Station (BS). For obtaining the optimal beamforing vectors, a nonsmooth and nonconvex Weight Sum Rate Maximization Problem (WRMP) is formulated and solved using Successive Convex Approximation (SCA) approach. Furthermore, we consider the worst case that eavesdroppers cooperatively form a eavesdrop VAA to enhance the overhearing capacity. In this case, we modify the securing beamforming scheme, formulate the corresponding WRMP and solve it using a two-level optimization. Simulation results validate the improvements of the VAA-aided D2DM scheme in terms of communication security compared with conventional D2DM schemes.
