Abstract

The security of spatial modulation (SM) aided net-works can always be improved by reducing the desired link’s power at the cost of degrading its bit error ratio performance and assuming the power consumed to artificial noise (AN) projection (ANP). We formulate the joint optimization problem of maximizing the secrecy rate (Max-SR) over the transmit antenna selection and ANP in the context of secure SM-aided networks. In order to solve this problem, we provide a pair of solutions, namely joint and separate solutions. Specifically, an accurate approximation of the SR is used for reducing the computational complexity, and the optimal AN covariance matrix (ANCM) is found by convex optimization for any given active antenna group (AAG). Then, given a large set of AAGs, simulated annealing mechanism is invoked for optimizing the choice of AAG, where the corresponding ANCM is recomputed by this optimization method as well when the AAG changes. To further reduce the complexity of the above-mentioned joint optimization, a low-complexity two-stage separate optimization method is also proposed. Moreover, when the number of transmit antennas tends to infinity, the Max-SR problem becomes equivalent to that of maximizing the ratio of the desired user’s signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio to the eavesdropper’s. Thus, our original problem reduces to a fractional programming problem and a significant computational complexity reduction can be achieved. Finally, our simulation results verify the efficiency of the proposed methods in terms of the SR performance attained.
