Secrecy Rate Analysis for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-Assisted MIMO Communications with Statistical CSI

摘要

In this paper,a reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)-assisted MIMO wireless secure communication system is considered,in which a base station(BS)equipped with multiple antennas exploits statistical channel state information to communicate with a legitimate multi-antenna user,in the presence of an eavesdropper,also equipped with multiple antennas.We firstly obtain an analytical expression of the ergodic secrecy rate based on the results of largedimensional random matrix theory.Then,a jointly alternating optimization algorithm with the method of Taylor series expansion and the projected gradient ascent method is proposed to design the transmit covariance matrix at the BS,as well as the diagonal phaseshifting matrix to maximize the ergodic secrecy rate.Simulations are conducted to demonstrate the accuracy of the derived analytical expressions,as well as the superior performance of our proposed algorithm.
