Abstract

Distributed antenna (DA) is considered as a strong alternative to conventional centralized multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), to provide a greener and user-centric network structure. However, physical layer (PHY) security becomes more challenging in DA systems because of the proximity to the transmitters. In this paper, we jointly optimize DA activation/deactivation and secure precoding to minimize the total power consumption, subjected to legitimate user's (LU) quality-of-service (QoS) and PHY security constraints against potential eavesdroppers (Eves). A practical scenario is considered, where channel state information (CSI) of all the nodes can only be imperfectly obtained. In the presence of infinite probabilities of CSI uncertainties, a deterministic robust based algorithm is designed to always satisfy LU's QoS requirement and address PHY security constraints against Eves. Moreover, essentially different from existing artificial noise (AN)-aided secure transmission schemes, where AN' leakage effect at LU needs to be suppressed, we utilize AN as a beneficial element at LU end while keeping it destructive at potential Eves. Simulation results verify that, the proposed algorithm incurs much lower power consumption compared to its benchmarks, thanks to the additional degrees of freedom of antenna selection and utilizing constructive AN. Last but not least, by adaptively facilitating DA activation/deactivation, the proposed algorithm addresses a user-centric network structure, which is more flexible over the conventional centralized MIMO systems.
