Wireless communication environment becomes more and more complex especially when facing vicious eavesdroppers and external jammers. Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) can provide secure or anti-jamming communication approaches via passively reflecting with low power consumption and high cost efficiency. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) also can be used to cooperatively transmit useful signals of legitimate users with vicious attackers. Carrying IRS on UAV can add new cooperative strategies, such as trajectory or height of UAV, numbers of reflecting elements or phase shift of IRS, to improve secure and anti-jamming performance of legitimate users. Two cooperative transmission schemes assisted with UAV and IRS are proposed to confront passive eavesdroppers or smart jammers in this paper. The first kind of cooperation is to select UAV relay or IRS reflecting strategy to improve energy efficiency of system with passive eavesdroppers. The second kind of cooperation is to jointly optimize phase shifts of IRS and trajectory of UAV to enhance transmission capacity with smart jammers. Simulation results show that, with the help of the cooperation of UAV and IRS, secure and reliable communications can be realized and system performance can be improved compared with no cooperation scheme or only one kind of cooperation with UAV or IRS scheme.
