Abstract
In this letter, secure beamforming in a multiple intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs)-aided millimeter-wave (mmWave) system is investigated. In this system, the secrecy rate is maximized by controlling the on-off status of each IRS as well as optimizing the phase shift matrix of the IRSs. This problem is posed as a joint optimization problem of transmit beamforming and IRS control, whose goal is to maximize the secrecy rate under the total transmission power and unit-modulus constraints. The problem is difficult to solve optimally due to the nonconvexity of constraint conditions and coupled variables. To deal with this problem, we propose an alternating optimization (AO)-based algorithm based on successive convex approximation (SCA) and manifold optimization (MO) technologies. Numerical simulations show that the proposed AO-based algorithm can effectively improve the secrecy rate and outperforms traditional single IRS-aided scheme.
