Secure Multigroup Multicast Communication Systems via Intelligent Reflecting Surface

This paper considers a secure multigroup multicast multiple-input single-output (MISO) communication system aided by an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). Specifically, we aim to minimize the transmit power at the Alice via jointly optimizing the transmit beamformer, AN vector and phase shifts at the IRS subject to the secrecy rate constraints as well as the unit modulus constraints of IRS phase shifts. However, the optimization problem is non-convex and directly solving it is intractable. To tackle the optimization problem, we first transform it into a semidefinite relaxation (SDR) problem, and then alternately update the transmit beamformer and AN matrix as well as the phase shifts at the IRS. In order to reduce the high computational complexity, we further propose a low-complexity algorithm based on second-order cone programming (SOCP). We decouple the optimization problem into two sub-problems and optimize the transmit beamformer, AN vector and the phase shifts alternately by solving two corresponding SOCP sub-problem. Simulation results show that the proposed SDR and SOCP schemes require half or less transmit power than the scheme without IRS, which demonstrates the advantages of introducing IRS and the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Efficient Receive Beamformers for Secure Spatial Modulation against a Malicious Full-duplex Attacker with Eavesdropping Ability

In this paper, we consider a new secure spatial modulation scenario with a full-duplex (FD) malicious attacker Mallory owning eavesdropping capacity, where Mallory works on FD model and transmits a malicious jamming such as artificial noise (AN) to interfere with Bob. To suppress the malicious jamming on Bob from Mallory, a conventional maximum receive power (Max-RP) at Bob is presented firstly. Subsequently, to exploit the colored property of noise plus interference at Bob, a whitening-filter-based Max-RP (Max-WFRP) is proposed with an obvious performance enhancement over Max-RP. To completely remove the malicious jamming from Mallory, a Max-RP with a constraint of forcing the malicious jamming from Mallory to zero at Bob is proposed. To further improve secrecy rate (SR) by removing the ZF contraint (ZFC), the maximum signal-to-jamming-plus-noise ratio (Max-SJNR) is proposed. Our proposed methods have closed-form expressions. From simulation results, the four receive beamforming methods have an increasing order in performance: Max-RP, Max-RP with ZFC and Max-SJNR$\approx$Max-WFRP. Additionally, the latter two harvest a substantial performance gains over Max-RP and Max-RP with ZFC in the low and medium signal-to-noise ratio regions.

UAV-enabled Secure Communication with Finite Blocklength

In the finite blocklength scenario, which is suitable for practical applications, a method of maximizing the average effective secrecy rate (AESR) is proposed for a UAV-enabled secure communication by optimizing the UAV's trajectory and transmit power subject to the UAV's mobility constraints and transmit power constraints. To address the formulated non-convex optimization problem, it is first decomposed into two non-convex subproblems. Then the two subproblems are converted respectively into two convex subproblems via the first-order approximation. Finally, an alternating iteration algorithm is developed by solving the two subproblems iteratively using successive convex approximation (SCA) technique. Numerical results show that our proposed scheme achieves a better AESR performance than both the benchmark schemes.

UAV-Enabled Uplink Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access System: Joint Deployment and Power Control

In order to overcome the inherent latency in multi-user unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks with orthogonal multiple access (OMA). In this paper, we investigate the UAV enabled uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network, where a UAV is deployed to collect the messages transmitted by ground users. In order to maximize the sum rate of all users and to meet the quality of service (QoS) requirement, we formulate an optimization problem, in which the UAV deployment position and the power control are jointly optimized. This problem is non-convex and some variables are binary, and thus it is a typical NP hard problem. In this paper, an iterative algorithm is proposed with the assistance of successive convex approximate (SCA) technique and the penalty function method. In order to reduce the high computational complexity of the iterative algorithm, a low complexity approximation algorithm is then proposed, which can achieve a similar performance compared to the iterative algorithm. Compared with OMA scheme and conventional NOMA scheme, numerical results show that our proposed algorithms can efficiently improve the sum rate.

Energy-efficient Alternating Iterative Secure Structure of Maximizing Secrecy Rate for Directional Modulation Networks

In a directional modulation (DM) network, the issues of security and privacy have taken on an increasingly important role. Since the power allocation of confidential message and artificial noise will make a constructive effect on the system performance, it is important to jointly consider the relationship between the beamforming vectors and the power allocation (PA) factors. To maximize the secrecy rate (SR), an alternating iterative structure (AIS) between the beamforming and PA is proposed. With only two or three iterations, it can rapidly converge to its rate ceil. Simulation results indicate that the SR performance of proposed AIS is much better than the null-space projection (NSP) based PA strategy in the medium and large signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions, especially when the number of antennas at the DM transmitter is small.
