Abstract

In this letter, we derive the achievable secure degrees of freedom (SDoF) of K -user multiple-input single-output broadcast channel with imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter. With the help of an Nj -antenna external jammer, we propose a jamming rate splitting (J-RS) scheme to ensure the security of two wiretap models: 1) broadcast channel with confidential messages and 2) broadcast channel with an Ne -antenna external eavesdropper, where each legal node has no CSI of wiretap channels. Our converse is based on the degrees of freedom (DoF) of the network with secrecy constraints, and the achievability is based on J-RS. By numerical analysis, it indicates that the proposed scheme can achieve more SDoF than the traditional rate splitting scheme, zero forcing scheme, and jamming scheme, which can reach to the DoF of the network.
