contents We consider a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted heterogeneous network comprising legitimate information-harvesting receivers (IHRs) and untrusted energy-harvesting receivers (UEHRs). A multi-antenna base station (BS) transmits confidential information to IHRs while ensuring sufficient energy transfer to UEHRs that may attempt eavesdropping. To enhance physical-layer security, we propose a secure rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) scheme aided by a UAV-mounted RIS. The objective is to maximize fairness-based secrecy energy efficiency (SEE). Owing to the non-convexity of the formulated problem, we develop an alternating optimization framework that jointly designs the common message allocation, active precoders, and RIS phase shifts under transmit power and energy harvesting constraints, leveraging sequential convex approximation (SCA). Simulation results demonstrate the scalability of the proposed algorithm and its superior SEE performance compared to space-division multiple access (SDMA) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) benchmarks.
