Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem of secure transmission in the downlink of a multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, where pilot contamination is considered due to non-orthogonal uplink training sequence. The channel state information (CSI) of the eavesdropper is assumed to be unavailable at the base station (BS) and hence, the BS cooperation and an artificial noise(AN) are investigated for secrecy enhancement. Based on regularized channel inversion (RCI), we derive a closed-form expression for ergodic secrecy sum rate in the large-system regime, in which the number of users per cell K, the number of antenna at BS N and the number of antenna at eavesdropper N E tend to infinity. Our analysis shows that the secrecy sum-rate saturates at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with BSs cooperation and AN under pilot contamination.
