Robust Secure SWIPT MISO

This paper studies the secure transmission issue for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) in a multiuser system with multiple eavesdroppers, where the base station transmitter broadcasts confidential message to legitimate multiple single-antenna information receivers (IRs) and multiple single-antenna energy-harvesting receivers (ERs). Our objective is to optimize the information bearing beam and artificial energy-carrying noise beam in order to maximize the secrecy rate of the IRs subject to individual harvested energy constraints of the ERs for the case where the ERs can form eavesdropping party to carry out joint decoding in an attempt to illicitly decode the secret message intended for the IRs. The initial non-convex problem is converted to convex problem through semi-definite programming (SDP) relaxation for both perfect CSI and imperfect CSI. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the performance.
