The achievable secrecy rate of MISO wiretap channels

Abstract

In this paper, we study the achievable secrecy rate of the multiple input single output (MISO) wiretap channel, which consists of a transmitter, a legitimate receiver and multiple eavesdroppers. The transmitter is equipped with multiple antennas, while the receiver and all the eavesdroppers each have a single antenna. We assume that the transmitter has perfect channel state information (CSI) for their links to legitimate receiver, but it has only imperfect CSI for their channels to eavesdroppers. Optimal transmit covariance matrix is obtained based on worst-case secrecy rate maximization, under power constraints. The maximum secrecy rate computation can be formulated as a non-convex optimal problem, which cannot be solved directly. In this paper, we transform non-convex optimal problem into a quasi-convex optimal problem which can be efficiently solved with the bisection method. The simulation result and analysis demonstrate the effectiveness of our methods.

Sum Secrecy Rate in MISO Full-Duplex Wiretap Channel with Imperfect CSI

Sanjay Vishwakarma, A. Chockalingam

In this paper, we consider the achievable sum secrecy rate in MISO (multiple-input-single-output) full-duplex wiretap channel in the presence of a passive eavesdropper and imperfect channel state information (CSI). We assume that the users participating in full-duplex communication have multiple transmit antennas, and that the users and the eavesdropper have single receive antenna each. The users have individual transmit power constraints. They also transmit jamming signals to improve the secrecy rates. We obtain the achievable perfect secrecy rate region by maximizing the worst case sum secrecy rate. We also obtain the corresponding transmit covariance matrices associated with the message signals and the jamming signals. Numerical results that show the impact of imperfect CSI on the achievable secrecy rate region are presented.

Explicit solution of worst-case secrecy rate for MISO wiretap channels with spherical uncertainty

Jiangyuan Li, Athina P. Petropulu

A multiple-input single-output (MISO) wiretap channel model is considered, that includes a multi-antenna transmitter, a single-antenna legitimate receiver and a single-antenna eavesdropper. Assuming a spherical uncertainty model for for both the legitimate and the eavesdropper channels, the problem of finding the optimal input covariance that maximizes the worst-case secrecy rate subject to a power constraint is considered, and an explicit expression for the maximum worst-case secrecy rate is provided.

Robust beamforming for MISO wiretap channel by optimizing the worst-case secrecy capacity

Wei Shi, James A. Ritcey

A Gaussian multiple-input single-output (MISO) secrecy channel is considered, where a transmitter is equipped with multiple antennas, and an intended receiver and an eavesdropper each equipped with a single antenna. This paper studies the robust beamforming design in the presence of uncertainty of channel state information (CSI) on the eavesdropper channel. Under the assumption that all possible states of the eavesdropper channel are in a given set, the problem of optimizing the transmit covariance for the worst-case secrecy capacity which is the maximum transmission rate at which the eavesdropper is unable to decode under any channel realization in the set, is cast as a max-min optimization problem. We propose to transfer the max-min problem into a convex optimization problem that can be solved efficiently. The optimal secrecy rate and transmit covariance are expressed in the form of the generalized eigenvalue and eigenvector, the same form as the conventional case of the perfect eavesdropper's CSI, which indicates our results is the generalization of the conventional case.

On Ergodic Secrecy Rate for Gaussian MISO Wiretap Channels

Jiangyuan Li, Athina P. Petropulu

A Gaussian multiple-input single-output (MISO) wiretap channel model is considered, where there exists a transmitter equipped with multiple antennas, a legitimate receiver and an eavesdropper, each equipped with a single antenna. We study the problem of finding the optimal input covariance that maximizes the ergodic secrecy rate subject to a power constraint, where only statistical information about the eavesdropper channel is available at the transmitter. This is a non-convex optimization problem that is in general difficult to solve. Existing results address the case in which the eavesdropper or/and legitimate channels have independent and identically distributed Gaussian entries with zero mean and unit variance, i.e., the channels have trivial covariances. This paper addresses the general case in which the eavesdropper and legitimate channels have nontrivial covariances. A set of equations describing the optimal input covariance matrix are proposed along with an algorithm to obtain the solution. Based on this framework, it is shown that when full information on the legitimate channel is available to the transmitter, the optimal input covariance has always rank one. It is also shown that when only statistical information on the legitimate channel is available to the transmitter, the legitimate channel has some general non-trivial covariance and the eavesdropper channel has trivial covariance, the optimal input covariance has the same eigenvectors as the legitimate channel covariance.

Transmitter Optimization for Achieving Secrecy Capacity in Gaussian MIMO Wiretap Channels

Jiangyuan Li, Athina P. Petropulu

We consider a Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wiretap channel model, where there exists a transmitter, a legitimate receiver and an eavesdropper, each node equipped with multiple antennas. We study the problem of finding the optimal input covariance matrix that achieves secrecy capacity subject to a power constraint, which leads to a non-convex optimization problem that is in general difficult to solve. Existing results for this problem address the case in which the transmitter and the legitimate receiver have two antennas each and the eavesdropper has one antenna. For the general cases, it has been shown that the optimal input covariance matrix has low rank when the difference between the Grams of the eavesdropper and the legitimate receiver channel matrices is indefinite or semi-definite, while it may have low rank or full rank when the difference is positive definite. In this paper, the aforementioned non-convex optimization problem is investigated. In particular, for the multiple-input single-output (MISO) wiretap channel, the optimal input covariance matrix is obtained in closed form. For general cases, we derive the necessary conditions for the optimal input covariance matrix consisting of a set of equations. For the case in which the transmitter has two antennas, the derived necessary conditions can result in a closed form solution; For the case in which the difference between the Grams is indefinite and has all negative eigenvalues except one positive eigenvalue, the optimal input covariance matrix has rank one and can be obtained in closed form; For other cases, the solution is proved to be a fixed point of a mapping from a convex set to itself and an iterative procedure is provided to search for it. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the proposed theoretical findings.
