Secure Communication through Nakagami-m Fading MISO Channel

We consider the problem of secret communication over Nakagami-m fading multiple-input single-output (MISO) broadcast channel, where transmitter sends messages to the destination users following two different transmission protocols. In the first transmission protocol, transmitter sends a confidential message to user 1, and user 2 acts as an eavesdropper. In this protocol, at first, we define the ergodic secrecy capacity for the full channel state information (CSI) case and then we consider the case of only main channel CSI at the transmitter. Finally, we define the secrecy capacity in case of open-loop spatial multiplexing transmission scheme and present the analytical expression for the lower bound of ergodic secrecy capacity. In the second transmission protocol, we consider the transmission of two independent messages to user 1 and user 2 with information-theoretic secrecy, where each user would like to obtain its own confidential message in a reliable and safe manner. Under this communication scenario, an achievable secrecy capacity region is developed using secret dirty-paper coding scheme.
