Outage Constrained Robust Beamforming and Power Splitting for Secure MISO SWIPT Channel

In this letter, we investigate the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in a multiple-input–single-output downlink system which consists of one multi-antenna transmitter, one single-antenna desired receiver, and multiple single-antenna eavesdroppers. Specifically, we investigate the outage-constrained secrecy rate maximization by jointly designing the transmit beamforming vector and the power splitting ratio with statistical channel uncertainties. To handle the formulated non-convex problem, we resort to semi-definite relaxation (SDR) and the Bernstein-type inequality to transform the outage constraints into a deterministic form. Then, the original problem can be efficiently solved by alternately optimizing two convex subproblems. In addition, we testify that the SDR can obtain the rank-one optimal solution. Finally, our proposed algorithm is validated by some representative numerical results.
