Abstract

Owing to the wireless signal power received by the energy harvesting (EH) node is generally higher than that of the information decoding (ID) node in simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system, the confidential information becomes vulnerable to be wiretapped. Motivated, in this paper, we aim at realizing secure communications for two-user MIMO interference channel with SWIPT. Unfortunately, the formulated secrecy rate maximization problem is non-convex with respect to the covariance matrices of two transmitters, thus an alternative algorithm is proposed to solve the nonconvex optimization problem. Firstly, the orthogonal-projection-based optimization algorithm is performed to completely suppress the interference to ID receiver, then by applying the Taylor series expansion, the covariance matrix of information transmitter is optimized based on the dual optimization. Finally, numerical experiments are conducted to validate the security performance of the proposed algorithm.

Robust Secure Transmit Design in MIMO Channels with Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer

Shaohang Wang, Baoyun Wang

In this letter, we consider a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) downlink system with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), where the information sent to the desired receiver (DR) may be wiretapped by the malicious energy harvesting (EH) receivers (potential eavesdroppers). Assuming the channel state information (CSI) of the EH receivers is not perfectly known at the transmitter, we aim to maximize the worst-case secrecy rate by jointly designing the precoding matrix, AN covariance matrix and power splsplitting ratio, under the constraints of total transmit power and harvested energyitting ratio, under the constraints of total transmit power and harvested energy at receivers. The formulated problem is non-convex and semi-infinite, which is hard to tackle. To solve it, we first deal with the non-convexity caused by CSI errors with the aid of the S-Procedure, and then employ the Taylor series approximation techniques to transfer the nonconvex problem into a convex optimization problem. Based on that, we propose an iterative algorithm with proved convergence to solve the original problem. Simulation results are finconvex optimization problem. Based on that, we propose an iterative algorithmally provided to show the effectiveness of our proposed robust transmit design.

Joint design for AN-aided transmission and power splitting in secrecy MIMO SWIPT channel using alternating optimization

Hehao Niu, Bangning Zhang, Daoxing Guo +1 more

In this paper, we investigate the secure transmission in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), where the energy receivers (ERs) may eavesdrop the confidential information send to the desired receiver (DR). By taking into account both artificial noise (AN) and power splitting (PS), we aim to maximize the secrecy rate at the DR by jointly designing the precoding matrix, AN covariance matrix and PS ratio at the desired receiver, under the transmit power constraint and the energy harvesting (EH) constraints at all the receivers. To solve the formulated non-convex problem, we propose an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm through a judicious reformulation, wherein the problem is handled by solving a series of convex problems in an alternating method. Finally, numerical results are provided to validate our proposed algorithm.

Achievable ergodic secrecy rate for MIMO SWIPT wiretap channels

Jun Zhang, Chau Yuen, Chao-Kai Wen +3 more

In this paper, we study the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wiretap channel performing simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), where there are a multiple-antenna base station (BS), a multiple-antenna information decoding (ID) user, and a multiple-antenna energy harvesting (EH) user. The messages intended to the ID user need to be kept confidential to the EH user. The channels between BS and users are modeled as fading channels with different spatial correlations and line-of-sight (LoS) components. We assume that only statistical channel state information (CSI) is available at the BS. Our objective is to design the optimal transmit covariance matrix at the BS for maximizing the ergodic secrecy rate subject to the BS power constraint and the harvested energy requirement for the EH user. To this end, we present an approximation for the ergodic secrecy rate by using large dimensional random matrix theory and the method of Taylor series expansion. Based on this, an iterative algorithm is proposed to find the transmit covariance matrix. Simulation results are provided to verify the accuracy of the approximation and the performance of the design.

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.

Secure transmission scheme in MIMO communication systems with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer

In this paper, we study the secure transmission scheme in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), in which both power splitting (PS) receiver and artificial noise (AN) are taken into account. We aim to maximize the achievable secrecy rate at the desired receiver by jointly designing precoding matrix, AN covariance matrix and PS ratio at the desired receiver, under the total transmit power constraint and the minimum energy harvesting constraints at all the receivers. The formulated optimization problem is nonconvex and hard to tackle. Then, by transforming this problem into a canonical DC (difference of convex function) programming, we propose an iterative method to solve this problem, and analyze the convergence of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results are provided to show the efficiency of our proposed scheme.

Efficient Transmission Solutions for MIMO Wiretap Channels With SWIPT

Wei Qiang Wu, Baoyun Wang

This letter studies transmit optimization in three-node multiple-input-multiple-output wiretap channels with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer. In particular, we address the transmit covariance optimization for the energy-harvesting maximization (EHM) problem under the constraint of secrecy rate and transmit power. The problem is nonconvex and hard to tackle. To circumvent it, we first resort to the Taylor series expansion to convert the problem into a convex optimization problem. Then, based on the analysis of its dual problem, an iterative algorithm, which includes a semiclosed-form solution, is proposed to handle this EHM problem. The scenario of imperfect channel state information of an energy receiver (the potential eavesdropper) is also considered. In this scenario, a Bernstein-type inequality-based iterative algorithm is proposed to deal with the challenging outage-constrained EHM problem. Simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed designs.
