Joint Optimization of AN-Aided Transmission and Power Splitting for MISO Secure Communications With SWIPT

Xin Zhao, Jian Xiao, Quanzhong Li +2 more

For simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), secure communication is an important issue. In this letter, we consider a wireless multiple-input-single-output secure communication system with SWIPT overheard by multiple multi-antenna eavesdroppers. In the system, a transmitter employs artificial noise (AN)-aided transmission and a legitimate receiver employs power splitting (PS) to harvest energy. Our objective is to jointly design AN-aided transmission and PS scheme which maximizes achievable secrecy rate under transmit power constraint and energy harvesting constraint. We propose to include an equality constraint to convert the constraint on information rate from transmitter to eavesdroppers into linear matrix inequalities. Replacing the equality constraint with a convex constraint and a concave constraint, we propose to employ constrained concave convex procedure based algorithm to find a local optimum of the problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed joint optimization of AN-aided transmission and PS scheme outperforms the non-AN-aided one.

MIMO Wiretap Channels

Mohamed Nafea, Aylin Yener

This chapter considers securing wireless communications at the physical layer using multiple antennas. In particular, the multiple antenna (MIMO) wiretap channel is presented and its secrecy capacity is provided. Further investigation of the high-SNR characterization of the secrecy capacity, i.e., secure degrees of freedom, reveals that the secrecy capacity of the MIMO wiretap channel does not scale with the transmit power when the eavesdropper has an advantage over the legitimate transmitter in the number of antennas. An external multi-antenna cooperative jammer terminal is introduced to the channel model in order to improve its secrecy capacity scaling with power. The secure degrees of freedom for this new multi-terminal multi-antenna channel is characterized. While for these models the eavesdropper channel state information is known at the legitimate terminals, the chapter next removes this assumption and presents results that utilize multiple antennas in order to provide secure communications irrespective of the eavesdropper channel state. An achievable strong secrecy rate and the secure degrees of freedom characterization for the MIMO wiretap channel when the eavesdropper channel is arbitrary, varying, and unknown at the legitimate terminals are presented. Finally, the extension of this model to the two-user multiple access MIMO wiretap channel is considered and its secure degrees of freedom region is characterized. Introduction The wiretap channel and the notion of secrecy capacity, introduced in [1] and generalized by [2], have provided the framework for physical layer design for wireless channels with information theoretic guarantees against eavesdropping. A natural model in wireless communications is one which utilizes multiple antennas for transmission and reception at each node. The improvement in secrecy rate that can be obtained using multiple antennas in a point-to-point channel with an eavesdropper has been studied extensively in several references, including [3, 4]. Specifically, the secrecy capacity of the Gaussian model consisting of a multiple antenna legitimate transmitter, a multiple antenna legitimate receiver, and a multiple antenna eavesdropper, termed the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wiretap channel, has been identified in full generality in [5, 6].

Performance Analysis of MIMO Based WLAN Security Using Artificial Noise

K. Ilanchezhian, Ramalingam Gunasundari

Security is one of the major issues in wireless communication system. In a wireless communication system as the transmission of information signal is over the air, eavesdroppers may have easy access to the transmitted data. The conventional network security mainly depends on cryptographic schemes. But as the security level increases, computational complexity will be high and cause complex key management problems. In this paper, the problem of secret communication between two nodes in the presence of a passive eavesdropper is considered. In general, nodes with multiple transmit antenna elements can ensure secure communication using directional antenna. In this paper, MIMO channel with multiple transmit antenna elements utilize fraction of the available power to produce „artificial noise‟ for the improvement of secure communication. The artificial noise is generated by the transmitter in such away that it degrades only the eavesdropper‟s channel. The various performance metrics such as bit error rate, channel capacity, optimal power allocation and secrecy rate were analyzed in the presence of non-colluding and colluding eavesdroppers. The obtained simulation results are compared with the existing work that does not use artificial noise. It is inferred from the results that the proposed work achieves improved secrecy rate than the existing work.
