Abstract

In this paper, we study a multi-user multiple-inputmultiple- output secrecy simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) channel which consists of one transmitter, one cooperative jammer (CJ), multiple energy receivers (potential eavesdroppers, ERs), and multiple co-located receivers (CRs). We exploit the dual of artificial noise (AN) generation for facilitating efficient wireless energy transfer and secure transmission. Our aim is to maximize the minimum harvested energy among ERs and CRs subject to secrecy rate constraints for each CR and total transmit power constraint. By incorporating norm-bounded channel uncertainty model, we propose a iterative algorithm based on sequential parametric convex approximation to find a near-optimal solution. Finally, simulation results are presented to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm outperforms that of the conventional AN-aided scheme and CJaided scheme.

Robust Design for MISO SWIPT System with Artificial Noise and Cooperative Jamming

Zheng Chu, Tuan Anh Le, Huan Xuan Nguyen +5 more

Considering simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), we study a multiple-input- single-output (MISO) secrecy channel which consists of a multi-antenna trans- mitter and a cooperative jammer (CJ), multiple multi-antenna energy receivers (ERs), i.e., potential eavesdroppers, and multiple single-antenna co-located receivers (CRs). Both transmitter and CJ send the intend signal with artificial noise (AN) and jamming signal to interfere with the ERs. All receivers (CRs and ERs) adopt a power splitter to decode information and harvest power simultaneously. We exploit AN and CJ to facilitate efficient wireless energy transfer and secure transmission. Our aim is to maximize the minimum harvested energy among all ERs and CRs subject to the total power constraints at the transmitter and CJ while guaranteeing the minimum secrecy rate for each CR above its requirement. By incorporating norm-bounded channel uncertainty model, we propose a joint design of robust secure transmission. The original problem is solved by a two- step approach. In the first step, the proposed problem is reformulated as a sequence of semidefinite programs (SDPs). In the second step, the proposed problem can be handled by one-dimensional search to attain the optimal solution. Simulation results indicate that the performance of the proposed scheme outperforms that of separated AN-aided or CJ-aided scheme.

Joint optimization of AN-aided beamforming and power splitting designs for MISO secrecy channel with SWIPT

Zhengyu Zhu, Zheng Chu, Zhongyong Wang +1 more

In this paper, we study an energy harvesting scheme for a multiple-input-single-output secrecy channel under imperfect channel state information case with either deterministic and statistical channel uncertainties. The system consists of one multi-antenna transmitter, several multi-antenna energy receivers (ERs) and one single-antenna co-located receiver (CR) who adopts a power splitter to decode information and harvest power simultaneously. We consider the artificial noise (AN) embedded information-bearing signal to interfere potential eavesdroppers (i.e., ERs) and capture the harvested power. We perform joint optimization for the masked beamforming matrix, the AN covariance matrix and the power splitting ratio, such that the transmit power is minimized to satisfy the target secrecy rate of the CR, the total transmit power and the energy harvesting constraints for the CR and the ERs. By incorporating norm-bounded channel uncertainty model, we propose a robust joint design method to obtain the optimal solution. Also, a suboptimal algorithm for the outage constrained robust optimization problem is proposed by adopting the Bernstein-type inequality. Furthermore, the tightness of the relaxation for the proposed schemes are verified by showing that the optimal solution of the relaxed problem is rank-one. Finally, simulation results are presented to validate the performance of our proposed schemes.

Robust Secure Beamforming for Multi-Receiver Multi-Eavesdropper MIMO SWIPT Systems

Yao Yu, Shumei Liu, Weina Yuan +3 more

In this paper, we consider a multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink communication system with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). In particular, we focus on a realistic and efficient multi-receiver multi-eavesdropper MIMO SWIPT system, in which the channel state information (CSI) of each legitimate receiver and energy receiver (i.e., potential eavesdropper) is partially known to the transmitter. Based on this, we propose a robust artificial noise (AN)-aided secure transmission scheme for the system, where the channel uncertainties are modeled by the worst-case model. In the proposed scheme, we aim to maximize the worst-case achievable secrecy rate under the transmit power constraint and the energy harvesting (EH) constraint, by jointly optimizing the transmit precoding matrix and the AN covariance matrix. We utilize the S-Procedure and Taylor series approximation to transform the non-convex problem. Then, we apply the interior point method to tackle the transformed convex problem, obtaining the approximate optimal matrices and the corresponding maximum worst-case secrecy rate. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme achieves significant performance improvements in terms of convergence and the worst-case achievable secrecy rate.

Cooperative Jamming Aided Robust Secure Transmission for Wireless Information and Power Transfer in MISO Channels

Qi Zhang, Xiaobin Huang, Quanzhong Li +1 more

Considering simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), we investigate cooperative-jamming (CJ) aided robust secure transmission design in multiple-input-single-output channels, where a cooperative jammer introduces jamming interferences and assists a source to supply wireless power for both an energy receiver and a legitimate destination. The destination employs a power splitting (PS) scheme to split the received signals for both information decoding and energy harvesting (EH). Compared with conventional transmission without SWIPT, the transmission with SWIPT should satisfy additional worst-case EH constraints. Furthermore, the PS scheme introduces an additional multiplicative optimization variable, i.e., the PS factor. Our objective is to maximize worst-case secrecy rate under transmit power constraints and worst-case EH constraints. We propose to decouple the problem into three optimization problems and employ alternating optimization algorithm to obtain the locally optimal solution. For the optimization of transmit covariance matrices and PS factor, we propose to employ the S-procedure and its extension to reformulate it as a convex semidefinite programming. It is shown through the simulation results that our proposed CJ aided robust secure transmission scheme outperforms the robust direct transmission scheme without CJ and the CJ aided non-robust scheme.

In addition, in order to reduce computational complexity, we propose an algorithm based on sequential parametric convex approximation (SPCA). Finally, simulation results show that the proposed SPCA method achieves the same performance as the two-layer algorithm with much lower complexity.
