Secrecy sum rate optimization in MISO nonorthogonal multiple access systems with orthogonal space‐time block coding

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy sum rate optimization problem for a multiple-input single-output (MISO) nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system with orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC). This system consists of a transmitter, two users, and a potential eavesdropper. The transmitter sends information by orthogonal space-time block codes. The transmitter's precoder and the power allocation scheme are designed to maximize achievable secrecy sum rate subject to the power constraint at the transmitter and the minimum transmission rate requirement of the weak user. We consider two cases of the eavesdropper's channel condition to obtain positive secrecy sum rate. The first case is the eavesdropper's equivalent channel is the weakest, and the other is the eavesdropper's equivalent channel between the strong user and weak user. For the former case, we employ the constrained concave convex procedure (CCCP)-based iterative algorithm with one-dimensional search. While for the latter, we adopt the method of alternating optimization (AO) between precoder and power allocation. We solve a semidefinite programming to optimize the precoder and drive a closed-form expression of power allocation. The simulation results obtained by our method demonstrate the superiority of our proposed scheme.KEYWORDS multiple-input single-output (MISO), nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA), orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC), security, precoder, power allocation

Secrecy Performance of a Multi-NOMA-MIMO System in the UEH Relaying Network Using the PSO Algorithm

“…Additionally, in [33] the authors considered the secrecy outage performance of a multiple-relay assisted NOMA network over Nakagami-m fading channels and proposed three relay selection schemes. Some researchers have considered the secrecy performance for cooperative systems with an untrusted relaying network in which the relay nodes act as both helpers that assist the transmission from the source to destination and potential eavesdroppers that attempt to overhear the confidential information [34], [35]. Furthermore, [36] considered the effective secrecy rate (ESR) of the downlink NOMA network with one base station, multiple singleantenna NOMA users, and an internal or external eavesdropper.…”
