Abstract

This paper investigates a secrecy energy efficiency (SEE) optimization problem for a multiple-input multiple-output non-orthogonal multiple access network. In particular, a multi-antenna transmitter intends to send two integrated service messages: a confidential message for the stronger user and a broadcast message for both stronger and weaker users. It is assumed that both users are equipped with multi-antennas. In this secure wireless network, we consider the transmit covariance matrices design of confidential and broadcast message, under broadcast energy efficiency (BEE) constraint. In addition, it is assumed that the weaker user might turn out to be a potential eavesdropper due to the broadcast nature of wireless transmission. We formulate this transmit covariance matrices design as an SEE maximization problem which is non-convex in its original form due the non-linear fractional objective function and constraints. To realize the solution for this problem, we utilize non-linear fractional programming and difference of concave (DC) functions approach which facilitate to reformulate it into a tractable form. Based on the Dinkelbach's algorithm and DC approximation method, we propose iterative algorithms to determine a solution to the original SEE maximization problem. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed transmit covariance matrices design to maximize the SEE.
