Abstract
Joint active and passive beamforming optimization is investigated to enhance the physical layer security of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted multiple-antenna communication system. The problems are formulated under two criteria: secrecy rate maximization and power consumption minimization. For each design problem, a novel collaborative design algorithm is proposed by capitalizing on the mathematical structure of the optimal active beamforming vector, which requires no iterative updating between the transmit beamformer and the RIS-reflecting beamformer. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms enjoy much lower computational complexity than the state-of-the-art alternating optimization-based methods while achieving almost identical secrecy performance.
