Joint power allocation and artificial noise design for multiuser wiretap OFDM channels

This paper considers an OFDM wiretap channel with a legitimate transmitter (Alice), multiple legitimate receivers (Bobs), and an eavesdropper (Eve). Alice simultaneously transmits confidential message to each individual Bob. The timedomain Artificial noise (AN) is firstly employed to the wiretap OFDM channel with multiple Bobs. Under the proposed AN approach, a nonconvex sum secrecy rate maximization problem is formulated to jointly optimize subcarrier allocation, power allocation and AN design. To solve this tough problem, the optimal subcarrier allocation is found at first, and then a low-complexity Lagrange dual method is developed to jointly optimize power allocation and AN design. Finally, numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms, including power allocation gain, AN gain and multiuser gain.
