A New Secure Transmission Scheme With Outdated Antenna Selection
We propose a new secure transmission scheme in
the multi-input multi-output multi-eavesdropper wiretap channel.
In this channel, the NA-antenna transmitter adopts transmit
antenna selection (TAS) to choose the antenna that maximizes
the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver to
transmit, while the NB-antenna receiver and the NE-antenna
eavesdropper adopt maximal-ratio combining (MRC) to combine
the received signals. We focus on the practical scenario where
the channel state information (CSI) during the TAS process is
outdated. In this scenario, we propose a new transmission scheme
to prevent the detrimental effect of the outdated CSI on the
wiretap codes design at the transmitter. To thoroughly assess
the secrecy performance achieved by the proposed scheme, we
derive new closed-form expressions for the exact secrecy outage
probability and the probability of non-zero secrecy capacity for
arbitrary SNRs. We also derive new compact expressions for the
asymptotic secrecy outage probability at high SNRs. Notably,
in the analysis we take spatial correlation at the receiver into
consideration. Apart from the advantage of our scheme over
the conventional TAS/MRC scheme, we demonstrate that the
outdated TAS reduces the secrecy diversity order from NANB
to NB. We also demonstrate that antenna correlation improves
the secrecy performance at low SNR but deteriorates the secrecy
performance at medium and high SNRs, by affecting the secrecy
array gain only.ARC Discovery Projects Grant DP150103905
Optimal Number of Transmit Antennas for Secrecy Enhancement in Massive MIMOME Channels
This paper studies the impact of transmit antenna selection on the secrecy
performance of massive MIMO wiretap channels. We consider a scenario in which a
multi-antenna transmitter selects a subset of transmit antennas with the
strongest channel gains. Confidential messages are then transmitted to a
multi-antenna legitimate receiver while the channel is being overheard by a
multi-antenna eavesdropper. For this setup, we approximate the distribution of
the instantaneous secrecy rate in the large-system limit. The approximation
enables us to investigate the optimal number of selected antennas which
maximizes the asymptotic secrecy throughput of the system. We show that
increasing the number of selected antennas enhances the secrecy performance of
the system up to some optimal value, and that further growth in the number of
selected antennas has a destructive effect. Using the large-system
approximation, we obtain the optimal number of selected antennas analytically
for various scenarios. Our numerical investigations show an accurate match
between simulations and the analytic results even for not so large dimensions.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, IEEE GLOBECOM 201
