Enhanced MIMOME wiretap channel via adopting full-duplex MIMO radios

Abstract

In this paper, secure communication over a multi-input multi-output multi-eavesdropper (MIMÓME) wiretap channel is considered. We propose an enhanced MIMÓME artificial noise (AN) model in which the receiver (Bob) adopts the latest Full-Duplex MIMO Radio technique to emit AN jointly with the transmitter (Alice). An achievable secrecy rate is obtained for this model over an unfavorable noiseless eavesdropping channel. Optimization problem is formulated to solve the beamforming and power allocation for Alice and Bob's transmitting signals and to determine the dimension allocation between the information and AN signals. Simulations are carried out to illustrate the optimization process, and the results show that the enhanced MIMÓME model outperforms existing AN models for low self-interference regime.
