An Adaptive Transmission Scheme for Slow Fading Wiretap Channel with Channel Estimation Errors

In this paper, we investigate the physical-layer security of slow fading wiretap channel with channel estimation errors. We aim to maximize the reliable secrecy rate under constraints of secrecy outage probability and reliability outage probability. To this end, we propose an adaptive (ADP) transmission scheme in which the communication rate and secrecy rate are adaptively adjusted based on the estimated imperfect channel state information (CSI) of the legitimate channel. The optimal solution is obtained by solving a single-variable maximization problem, where the objective function is log-concave. Numerical results are provided to verify our approach as well as to show the impact of imperfect CSI on the secrecy throughput.
