| contents | In low-altitude wireless communications, the increased complexity of wireless channels and the uncertainty of eavesdroppers (Eves)--caused by diverse altitudes, speeds, and obstacles--pose significant challenges to physical layer security (PLS) technologies based on fixed-position antennas (FPAs), particularly in terms of beamforming capabilities and spatial efficiency. In contrast, movable antennas (MAs) offer a flexible solution by enabling channel reconstruction through antenna movement, effectively compensating for the limitations of FPAs. In this paper, we aim to derive a closed-form expression for the secrecy rate, a key metric in PLS, which is often unattainable in current studies due to the uncertainty of Eves. We construct an equivalent model that leverages the reconfigurable nature of MAs, equating the secrecy rates obtained by multiple Eves with single FPAs to those achieved by a single virtual Eve equipped with an MA array. To minimize the gap between these two types of secrecy rates, we formulate and solve an optimization problem by jointly designing the equivalent distance between the transmitter and the virtual Eve} and the antenna positions of MAs at the virtual Eve. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed equivalent model, offering a new perspective for PLS strategies. This work provides significant insights for network designers on how system parameters affect PLS performance. |
