To legitimately eavesdrop communications of suspicious users such as criminals, proactive eavesdropping has been proposed as an effective approach. Current works considered that suspicious communication links (SCLs) carry homogeneous services, which is unrealistic due to randomness of user behaviors. Thus, this paper investigates proactive eavesdropping over multiple SCLs with heterogeneous services. The relative eavesdropping non-outage probability and the relative eavesdropping rate are adopted as eavesdropping utilities for delay-sensitive (DS) and delay-tolerant (DT) suspicious services, respectively. The jamming power allocation problem to maximize the weighted sum eavesdropping utility under the average transmit power constraint at the monitor is investigated under the non-adaptive fixed power allocation and the adaptive power allocation schemes adopted by the SCLs. The problem belongs to sum-of-ratios optimization and is transformed to an equivalent parameterized subtractive-form with some extra auxiliary variables. Two nested optimizations are proposed to solve the equivalent problem based on the Lagrange duality method and the damped Newton method. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithms compared to various benchmark algorithms in existing literature. It is shown that the impacts of the power allocation schemes of the SCLs on the eavesdropping performance may be different for the DS and DT suspicious services under different system setups.
