Robust MMSE Precoding Strategy for Multiuser MIMO Relay Systems with Switched Relaying and Side Information
In this work, we propose a minimum mean squared error (MMSE) robust base station (BS) precoding strategy based on switched relaying (SR) processing and limited transmission of side information for interference suppression in the downlink of multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay systems. The BS and the MIMO relay station (RS) are both equipped with a codebook of interleaving matrices. For a given channel state information (CSI) the selection function at the BS chooses the optimum interleaving matrix from the codebook based on two optimization criteria to design the robust precoder. Prior to the payload transmission the BS sends the index corresponding to the selected interleaving matrix to the RS, where the best interleaving matrix is selected to build the optimum relay processing matrix. The entries of the codebook are randomly generated unitary matrices. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed techniques is significantly better than prior art in the case of imperfect CSI.
To Harvest and Jam: A Paradigm of Self-Sustaining Friendly Jammers for Secure AF Relaying
This paper studies the use of multi-antenna harvest-and-jam (HJ) helpers in a
multi-antenna amplify-and-forward (AF) relay wiretap channel assuming that the
direct link between the source and destination is broken. Our objective is to
maximize the secrecy rate at the destination subject to the transmit power
constraints of the AF relay and the HJ helpers. In the case of perfect channel
state information (CSI), the joint optimization of the artificial noise (AN)
covariance matrix for cooperative jamming and the AF beamforming matrix is
studied using semi-definite relaxation (SDR) which is tight, while suboptimal
solutions are also devised with lower complexity. For the imperfect CSI case,
we provide the equivalent reformulation of the worst-case robust optimization
to maximize the minimum achievable secrecy rate. Inspired by the optimal
solution to the case of perfect CSI, a suboptimal robust scheme is proposed
striking a good tradeoff between complexity and performance. Finally, numerical
results for various settings are provided to evaluate the proposed schemes.Comment: 16 pages (double column), 8 figures, submitted for possible journal
