Abstract

For the single-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink transmission, we investigate an artificial noise (AN) assisted secure transmission strategy where the base station has only access to statistical channel state information (CSI) of the legitimate user terminals and the eavesdropper. By maximizing a lower bound of the ergodic secrecy sum rate, we figure out the eigenvectors of the optimal secrecy signal and AN transmit covariance matrices in the closed-form. Notably, such a solution reveals that it is more favorable to transmit both the secrecy signals and the AN in the beam domain, by which we translate the original problem into a simpler power allocation problem in the beam domain. Building on the approaches of sequential optimization and the deterministic equivalent, we further propose an iterative algorithm for power allocation with guaranteed convergence to a local optimum. Numerical results show the superior performance of the proposed approach compared with the traditional one without AN.
