Opportunistic secure transmission scheme for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer by Keming MA, Yajun CHEN, Xin HU, Kaizhi HUANG, Xinsheng JI

“…Aiming at the different requirements of energy transmission and information transmission in simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT),an opportunistic transmission scheme was proposed for enhancing physical layer security.Firstly,a SWIPT network with multi-cells was considered where multi-users,multi-eavesdroppers and the users were assumed to adopt time-switching based receivers and employ non-linear conversion model to harvest energy.The transmitter could dynamically switch between information transmission and power transfer according to the channel state,breaking the traditional fixed slot allocation scheme of energy transmission and information transmission.On this basis,the performances of energy transmission and information transmission were analyzed comprehensively,including the stability and efficiency of energy transmission,and the reliability and security of information transmission in the scenario of independent eavesdropping and joint eavesdropping.Next,a switching threshold optimization model was given to maximize its secrecy throughput under the constraint of the energy transmission,the reliability and secrecy performance requirements of information transmission.Finally,simulation results verify the validity of the proposed scheme.…”

Low-power transmission method for uplink millimeter-wave massive MIMO-NOMA system based on GSIC by Hui WANG, Qixin TAI, Liu LIU, Hong WANG, Rongfang SONG

“…The combination of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) can meet the requirements for huge throughput and massive connectivity in future wireless communication network.The total system power minimization for uplink mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA was studied, and a novel framework for a hybrid beamforming mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA uplink transmission system was proposed based on group-level successive interference cancellation (GSIC).Specifically, users were grouped according to channel gain, intergroup users being served by NOMA and intra group users being served by space division multiple access.By designing analog beamforming matrices for different groups and performing joint optimization for digital beamforming and power control, a parallel iterative algorithm was proposed to solve the optimization problem.Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA based on clustering and user-level SIC in terms of total power consumption.…”
