RIS辅助的MIMO系统安全鲁棒资源分配算法

Secure Robust Resource Allocation Algorithm for RIS-Assisted MIMO Systems

  • 摘要: 信息业务的快速发展使得无线通信系统对频谱效率和系统容量的要求更高。可重构智能表面(Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface, RIS)能够通过调整反射单元的反射系数来重新配置无线传输环境,从而有效提升系统性能和频谱效率。然而,无线信道的开放性使得传输数据的安全性无法得到有效保证。物理层安全(Physical Layer Security,PLS)技术充分利用无线信道的物理特性对传输信息进行加密,是从物理层解决无线通信易受到窃听攻击的重要手段,但其安全性能又受到用户信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)的影响。针对无线通信系统的高频谱效率需求和用户CSI不完美导致的系统安全性能损失较大的问题,构建了一个存在多个窃听用户的RIS辅助多输入多输出(Multiple Input Multiple Output, MIMO)系统模型,并提出了一种安全鲁棒资源分配算法。首先,在基站(Base Station,BS)发射功率和RIS相移约束下,针对窃听用户CSI不完美的情况,建立了一个联合优化BS天线功率分配和RIS无源波束成形最大化合法用户保密速率的资源分配模型。随后,提出了一种针对上述多变量耦合的具有无穷多非凸约束的非凸问题求解算法。针对多变量耦合难以求解的问题,利用交替优化方法将原问题转化为了BS发射协方差矩阵优化和RIS相移优化两个子问题,并采用Charnes-Cooper变换、S-Procedure方法和基于惩罚函数的凸差算法分别转化为凸优化问题完成问题求解。最后通过收敛性和复杂度分析,证明了算法的可行性和有效性。仿真结果表明,所提算法在存在多窃听用户和窃听信道有界不确定性的情况下具有更优的合法用户保密速率和鲁棒性。

     

    Abstract: ‍ ‍The rapid development of communication services has made wireless communication systems more demanding in terms of spectral efficiency and system capacity. A Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) can reconfigure the wireless transmission environment by adjusting the reflection coefficients of the reflection units, thus effectively improving the system performance and spectrum efficiency. However, the openness of the wireless channel makes it impossible to guarantee the security of the transmitted data. Physical Layer Security (PLS) technology fully leverages the physical characteristics of the wireless channel to encrypt the transmission information, which is a crucial means to solve the problem of wireless communications being vulnerable to eavesdropping attacks from the physical layer, but its security performance is affected by the Channel State Information (CSI) of the user. Aiming at the high spectral efficiency demand of wireless communication systems and the large loss of system security performance caused by the imperfect CSI of users, an RIS-assisted Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system model with the presence of multiple eavesdropping users is constructed, and a security robust resource allocation algorithm is proposed. First, a resource allocation model that jointly optimizes the Base Station (BS) antenna power allocation and RIS passive beamforming to maximize the secrecy rate of legitimate users is developed for the imperfect CSI of eavesdropping users under the BS transmit power and RIS phase shift constraints. Subsequently, an algorithm for solving the nonconvex problem with infinitely many nonconvex constraints for the above multivariate coupling is proposed. For problems that are difficult to solve with multivariate coupling, the original problem is transformed into two subproblems of BS emission covariance matrix optimization and RIS phase-shift optimization using alternate optimization method, and the problem is completed by transforming it into a convex optimization problem using the Charnes-Cooper transform, S-Procedure method, and the convex difference algorithm based on the penalty function, respectively. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm are proven by convergence and complexity analysis. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a better legitimate user secrecy rate and robustness in the presence of multiple eavesdropping users and a bounded uncertainty of the eavesdropping channel.
