Abstract

In this talk, we address the problem of secure amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relaying networks in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers. The emphasis is on a practical setting where only imperfect eavesdropper channel state information (ECSI) is available. A robust optimization framework is developed for the secure AF relay design where the general aim is to maximize the SINR at the destination under transmit power and secrecy constraints. The proposed framework covers three different types of models for the ECSI errors, that is: (1) deterministic norm-bounded; (2) random with Gaussian distribution; and (3) random with unknown distribution (i.e., known 1st and 2nd order moments). In each case, the resulting optimization problem for the AF relaying matrix design becomes non-convex. Suitable transformations and/or approximation techniques (e.g., S-procedure, difference of convex functions, semi-definite relaxation, etc.) are applied to develop efficient algorithmic solutions. The improved secrecy of the proposed transceiver designs against eavesdropping and their robustness to ECSI uncertainties is demonstrated through extensive numerical simulations. The joint optimization of the AF relaying matrix and artificial noise covariance matrix is also considered.
