Robust Secure Transmission in MISO Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer System

Abstract

The secure transmission in the multiple-input-single-output simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system is an important issue. Considering channel uncertainties, we investigate the robust secure transmission scheme, which maximizes the worst-case secrecy rate under transmit power constraint and energy-harvesting (EH) constraint. The optimization problem is a nonconvex problem. Omitting the rank-one constraint on transmit covariance, it is transformed into a solvable semidefinite program (SDP) where the rank relaxation performance upper bound is obtained. Since the obtained rank relaxation transmit covariance may not be rank one, we propose a lower bound-based rank-one suboptimal (LB-Sub) solution by employing Charnes-Cooper transformation. We also propose the suboptimal Gaussian randomized (GR) solutions based on the rank relaxation upper bound and the lower bound, respectively. Simulation results have shown that our proposed LB-Sub solution and suboptimal GR solution based on the rank relaxation upper bound outperform the nonrobust scheme.

Secrecy rate maximization for MISO multicasting SWIPT system with power splitting scheme

Miao Zhang, Kanapathippillai Cumanan, Alister Graham Burr

This paper considers transmit covariance matrix design for secrecy rate maximization problem in a multiple-input single-output (MISO) multicasting simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system. In order to enhance the performance of the system, artificial noise (AN) is added to the transmit signal in the design for the following purposes: to reduce the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the eavesdroppers and increase the harvested energy. We assume that all the channel-state-information (CSI) is perfectly known at the transmitter and all legitimate users are capable of simultaneously receiving information and harvesting energy. In addition, all the eavesdroppers are passive and they can harvest energy only when they are not intercepting or eavesdropping the messages intended for the legitimate users. The original secrecy rate maximization problem is not convex in terms of transmit and artificial covariance matrices as well as the power splitting (PS) ratio. In order to circumvent this non-convexity issue, we exploit the Charnes-Cooper Transformation and semidefinite relaxation (SDR) to convert this original problem into a convex one. However, this convex problem does not always yield the rank-one transmit and AN covariance matrices to obtain the solution of the original problem. Therefore, we analyze the optimal conditions and utilize a Gaussian randomization (GR) method to construct the rank-one solutions from the non-rank one results. Simulation results have been provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed transmit covariance matrices design for MISO multicasting SWIPT system.

Robust transmission for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer systems with secrecy constraints

Haiyang Zhang, Yongming Huang, Luxi Yang

In this paper, a robust transmission scheme for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in the presence of an eavesdropper is proposed. With imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter, the optimal transmit covariance matrix is obtained based on the maximization of the worst case harvested energy for the energy receiver (ER) while guaranteeing the achievable secrecy rate constraint for the information receiver (IR). To solve such a challenging nonconvex problem, in this paper, a two-stage optimization approach is proposed. In the first stage, the original problem is transformed into a robust design problem, which can be further converted into a convex semidefinite program (SDP) problem by using S-procedure as a tool. In the second stage, the optimal transmit covariance matrix is obtained via the aid of one-dimensional search algorithm. Finally, simulation results are provided to illustrate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Secure Beamforming Design for MISO SWIPT Systems: An Indirectly Optimized Approach

Yao Yu, Siyu Wang, Shumei Liu +4 more

By considering the Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) schemes, this paper focuses on secure transmission model design in multiple-input-single-output (MISO) channels. In these channels, the channel state information is assumed to be perfect. Our objective is to maximize the worst-case secrecy rate with respect to both potential eavesdroppers and obvious eavesdroppers under the constraints of energy-harvesting and total transmission power. We present an optimization model to indirectly obtain maximum security rate in a single receiver system. Due to the high computational complexity of the solution process caused by the formulated non-convex optimization problem, we propose a novel indirect method to handle this issue. Then, a Semi-Definite Programming (SDP) relaxation method is used to approach the optimal solution. Moreover, we reveal the conditions for ensuring that the above semi-definite relaxation is compact. Simulation results demonstrate that the gained performance in our system is much better than those of the existing competing schemes.

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.

Robust secure beamforming for MISO SWIPT broadcast channels with confidential messages

Yuanlian Huo, Tingting Zhang, Chunguo Li

In this paper, we investigate multiple-input single-output (MISO) simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) broadcast channels with confidential messages (BCC) scenario, in which a multiple-antenna transmitter simultaneously transmits confidential messages and power to multiple single-antenna receivers. Considering the imperfect channel state information (CSI), we study the joint optimization of transmit beamforming vectors, covariance of artificial noise, and power splitting ratios so as to minimize the total transmit power while satisfying the worst-case conservative secrecy rate and energy harvesting constraints. The original optimization is non-convex and intractable in general. To handle this challenge, in this paper, we first derive the exact upper or lower bounds of the constraints in original optimization problem by using the Lagrangian approach, and then convert the corresponding non-convex problem into a convex one with the aid of the rank relaxation technique. Finally, we provide simulation results to illustrate the robustness of the proposed design.
