Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) aided communication, privacy-aware Internet of Things (IoT) communications, intelligent resource management, and location privacy protection are key technologies for improving the reliable and secure communication performance of maritime communications. In the IRS aided maritime communication system, the reflecting elements of IRS can be intelligently controlled to change the phase of the signal, enhancing the received signal strength of maritime ships or sensors or jamming maritime eavesdroppers. The power and spectrum resource in maritime communications can be jointly optimized to guarantee the quality of service, and reinforcement learning is adopted to smartly choose the resource allocation strategy. Learning-based privacy-aware offloading and location privacy protection are proposed to intelligently guarantee the privacy-preserving requirements of maritime ships or sensors. This timely book provides broad coverage of the maritime wireless communication issues, such as reliability, security, resource management, and privacy protection. Reinforcement learning based methods are applied to solve these issues. This book includes four rigorously refereed chapters from prominent international researchers working in this subject area. The material serves as a useful reference for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners seeking solutions to maritime wireless communication and security-related issues.
