Abstract
In this letter, we study on-off opportunistic beamforming for the multiuser downlink channel with a passive eavesdropper. Two opportunistic scheduling schemes exploiting multiuser diversity are investigated which require limited feedback of the effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) from the legitimate users. For the two scheduling schemes, we derive new closed-form expressions for the ergodic secrecy rate with on-off beamforming over Rayleigh fading channels. Numerical results are provided to verify our analytical results and illustrate the impact of multiuser diversity on the secrecy performance.
