Abstract
This paper studies the energy-efficient power allocation problem for physical-layer security in multi-user (MU) distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. A new metric called global average secrecy energy efficiency (GASEE) is proposed to measure the MU secrecy energy efficiency (SEE) with a single eavesdropper (Eve). We first derive closed-form expressions for the signal to interference-plus-noise ratios (SINRs) of legitimate users and the Eve with pilot contamination. Under a power consumption model that incorporates transmit power, backhaul power, remote antenna unit (RAU) circuit and signal processing power, and with transmit power constraints as well as SINR constraints for both users and the Eve, the GASEE maximization problem is formulated as a joint optimization of power allocation, RAU clustering, RAU selection and artificial noise (AN) selection. The formulated problem is a mixed integer nonlinear program (MINLP), which is solved by a double-loop procedure. In the outer loop, the denominator of objective is approximated as a linear function. In the inner loop, an efficient algorithm is proposed to find a near-optimal solution to the approximated problem by solving a sequence of sub-problems. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm converges fast and achieves a higher GASEE than some heuristics.
