On The Fast Fading Multiple-Antenna Gaussian Broadcast Channel with Confidential Messages and Partial CSIT

Abstract

In wiretap channels the eavesdropper's channel state information (CSI) is commonly assumed to be known at transmitter, fully or partially. However, under perfect secrecy constraint the eavesdropper may not be motivated to feedback any correct CSI. In this paper we consider a more feasible problem for the transmitter to have eavesdropper's CSI. That is, the fast fading multiple-antenna Gaussian broadcast channels (FMGBC-CM) with confidential messages, where both receivers are legitimate users such that they both are willing to feedback accurate CSI to maintain their secure transmission, and not to be eavesdropped by the other. We assume that only the statistics of the channel state information are known by the transmitter. We first show the necessary condition for the FMGBC-CM not to be degraded to the common wiretap channels. Then we derive the achievable rate region for the FMGBC-CM where the channel input covariance matrices and the inflation factor are left unknown and to be solved. After that we provide an analytical solution to the channel input covariance matrices. We also propose an iterative algorithm to solve the channel input covariance matrices and the inflation factor. Due to the complicated rate region formulae in normal SNR, we resort to low SNR analysis to investigate the characteristics of the channel. Finally, numerical examples show that under perfect secrecy constraint both users can achieve positive rates simultaneously, which verifies our derived necessary condition. Numerical results also elucidate the effectiveness of the analytic solution and proposed algorithm of solving the channel input covariance matrices and the inflation factor under different conditions.

On the Secrecy Rate Region of a Fading Multiple-Antenna Gaussian Broadcast Channel with Confidential Messages and Partial CSIT

Pin-hun Lin, Chien-li Su, Hsuan-Jung Su

In this paper we consider the secure transmission over the fast fading multiple antenna Gaussian broadcast channels with confidential messages (FMGBC-CM), where a multiple-antenna transmitter sends independent confidential messages to two users with information theoretic secrecy and only the statistics of the receivers' channel state information are known at the transmitter. We first use the same marginal property of the FMGBC-CM to classify the non-trivial cases, i.e., those not degraded to the common wiretap channels. We then derive the achievable rate region for the FMGBC-CM by solving the channel input covariance matrices and the inflation factor. Due to the complicated rate region formulae, we resort to low SNR analysis to investigate the characteristics of the channel. Finally, the numerical examples show that under the information-theoretic secrecy requirement both users can achieve positive rates simultaneously.

On Secrecy Capacity of Fast Fading Multiple-Input Wiretap Channels With Statistical CSIT

Shih-Chun Lin, Pin-Hsun Lin

We consider the secure transmission in ergodic fast Rayleigh fading multiple-input single-output single-antenna-eavesdropper (MISOSE) wiretap channels. We assume that the statistics of both the legitimate and eavesdropper channels are the only available channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT). By introducing a new secrecy capacity upper bound, we prove that the secrecy capacity is achieved by the Gaussian input without prefixing. To attain this result, we form another MISOSE channel for upper-bounding by relaxing the equivocation constraint, and tighten the bound by carefully selecting correlations between the legitimate and eavesdropper channel gains. The resulting upper bound is tighter than the others in the literature which are based on modifying the correlation between the noises at the legitimate receiver and eavesdropper. Next, we fully characterize the secrecy capacity by showing that the optimal channel input covariance matrix is a scaled identity matrix. The key to solve such a stochastic optimization problem is by exploiting the completely monotone property of the secrecy capacity. Finally, we prove that with only statistical CSIT of both channels, the capacity will neither scale with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) nor the number of antenna. Our numerical results also match these observations and further confirm that having the legitimate CSIT (realizations) is very beneficial to increase the secrecy capacity.

On Secrecy Capacity of Fast Fading MIMOME Wiretap Channels with Statistical CSIT

Shih-Chun Lin, Cheng-Liang Lin

In this paper, we consider secure transmissions in ergodic Rayleigh fast-faded multiple-input multiple-output multiple-antenna-eavesdropper (MIMOME) wiretap channels with only statistical channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT). When the antennas at the legitimate receiver are more than (or equal to) those at the eavesdropper, we prove the first MIMOME secrecy capacity with partial CSIT by establishing a new secrecy capacity upper-bound. The key step is to form an MIMOME degraded channel by dividing the legitimate receiver's channel matrix into two submatrices, and setting one of the submatrices to be the same as the eavesdropper's channel matrix. Next, under the total power constraint over all transmit antennas, we analytically solve the channel-input covariance matrix optimization problem to fully characterize the MIMOME secrecy capacity. Typically, the MIMOME optimization problems are non-concave. However, thanks to the proposed degraded channel, we can transform the stochastic MIMOME optimization problem to be a Schur-concave one and then find its solution. Besides total power constraint, we also investigate the secrecy capacity when the transmitter is subject to the practical per-antenna power constraint. The corresponding optimization problem is even more difficult since it is not Schur-concave. Under the two power constraints considered, the corresponding MIMOME secrecy capacities can both scale with the signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) when the difference between numbers of antennas at legitimate receiver and eavesdropper are large enough. However, when the legitimate receiver and eavesdropper have a single antenna each, such SNR scalings do not exist for both cases.
