Abstract

We consider transmission of confidential data over multiple-input single-output multiple-eavesdropper (MISOME) Rayleigh-fading wiretap channels. The transmitter has access to full channel state information (CSI) of a legitimate link but only partial CSI of an eavesdropper link in forms of the average received signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR). In this location-aware scenario, we develop the optimal power allocation strategy that maximizes the secrecy rate achievable by beamforming. The optimal power control is regulated in an on-off fashion with the threshold depending only on the numbers of antennas and the average SNRs. By rescuing the vanishing high-SNR degree of freedom for secure communication from this optimal on-off beamforming with the artificial noise scheme, we further derive the achievable ergodic secrecy rate of MISOME wiretap channels in closed form.
