Résumé :
[en] The rapid development of next-generation wireless networks has intensified the need for robust security measures, particularly in environments susceptible to eavesdropping. Simultaneous transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (STAR-RIS) have emerged as a transformative technology, offering full-space coverage by manipulating electromagnetic wave propagation. However, the inherent flexibility of STAR-RIS introduces new vulnerabilities, making secure communication a significant challenge. To overcome these challenges, we propose a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based secure and efficient beamforming optimization strategy, leveraging the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm. By framing the problem as a Markov decision process (MDP), our approach enables the DDPG algorithm to learn optimal strategies for beamforming and transmission and reflection coefficients (TARCs) configurations. This method is specifically designed to optimize phase-shift coefficients within the STAR-RIS environment, effectively managing the coupled phase shifts and complex interactions that are critical for enhancing physical layer security (PLS). Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that our DRL-based strategy not only outperforms traditional optimization techniques but also achieves real-time adaptive optimization, significantly improving both confidentiality and network efficiency. This research addresses key gaps in secure wireless communication and sets a new standard for future advancements in intelligent, adaptable network technologies.
