Security in MIMO-OFDM SWIPT Networks

摘要

A multi-input multi-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) network in the presence of a passive eavesdropper is considered. The deployment of radio frequency power transfer at the receiver and the use of hybrid artificial noise at the transmitter are simultaneously taken into account. At the legal receiver, the cyclic prefix of each OFDM block is used for the purpose of harvesting energy. In parallel, the power-splitting SWIPT technique is additionally used. We then propose a trade-off problem to maximize the secrecy rate of the network while keeping the harvested energy above a given threshold. Throughout the numerical results, the performance of our proposed secure scheme is evaluated.
