Aiming at the problem that the traditional physical layer technology cannot realize secure transmission due to the large number of users and wide dispersion in the multicast system, a layered transmission method is proposed, and a scheme for the secure transmission of the multicast group physical layer is designed. Firstly, the hierarchical transmission system model is established. Then, the array weighted vector of each layer is optimized according to the design criterion of maximizing the artificial noise interference power. At the same time, in the case where the number of users in a single multicast group is greater than the number of transmitting antennas, a multicast grouping strategy is introduced, and the singular value decomposition and Lagrange multiplier algorithms are utilized to obtain the optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed method can realize the secure communication of users with different distances in the same direction and can distinguish the multicast users with the same direction angle and different distances under the premise of mutual non-interference, thus realizing the secure communication of large-scale multicast users.
