Secure Transmission in MIMO-NOMA Networks
This addresses security for users in wireless communication networks, but it is incremental as it builds on existing linear precoding methods.
The paper tackles physical layer security in MIMO-NOMA networks by designing a linear precoding technique that splits power and decomposes channels to enhance confidentiality, resulting in a substantially enlarged secrecy rate compared to existing methods.
This letter focuses on the physical layer security over two-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks. A linear precoding technique is designed to ensure the confidentiality of the message of each user from its counterpart. This technique first splits the base station power between the two users and, based on that, decomposes the secure MIMO-NOMA channel into two MIMO wiretap channels, and designs the transmit covariance matrix for each channel separately. The proposed method substantially enlarges the secrecy rate compared to existing linear precoding methods and strikes a balance between performance and computation cost. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
