ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the anti-jamming transmission problem in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication networks. Considering the incomplete information constraint and the co-channel mutual interference, a Bayesian Stackelberg game is proposed to formulate the competitive relations between UAVs (users) and the jammer. Specifically, the jammer acts as the leader, whereas users act as followers of the proposed game. Based on their utility functions, the jammer and users select their optimal power control strategies respectively. In addition, the observation error is also investigated in this paper. Due to the incomplete information constraint and the existence of co-channel mutual interference, it is challenging to obtain Stackelberg equilibrium (SE) of the proposed game. Thus, a sub-gradient based Bayesian Stackelberg iterative algorithm is proposed to obtain SE. Finally, simulations are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm, and the impact of incomplete information and observation error on users' utilities are also presented.

Considering the mutual interference REF among users, the authors proposed a sub-gradient based Bayesian Stackelberg iterative algorithm to realize the power optimization problem in multi-user situation, while the jammer acted as leader and users acted as followers in the proposed game.
