In this study, the authors study the max-min fairness for wireless energy transfer in a multiuser multiple-inputmultiple-output communication system with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer. In particular, they aim to maximise the minimum harvested energy among the multiple multi-antenna energy receivers while guaranteeing secure communication for multi-antenna information receiver. The dual use of artificial noise to facilitate both wireless energy transfer and secure communication is exploited in the authors' proposed problem. Both scenarios of perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI) known at the transmitter are considered. For the perfect CSI case, the formulated max-min energy harvesting (MM-EH) problem is non-convex and intractable. To circumvent it, an iterative optimisation algorithm based on Taylor series expansion is proposed. Then, they turn their attention to the imperfect CSI case, where a max-min robust energy harvesting (MMR-EH) problem is considered. Though the MMR-EH problem is more complicated than the MM-EH problem, they reveal that the iterative optimisation method can be extended to the solution of the former, wherein the S-procedure is introduced. Simulation results show the efficiency of their proposed solutions in terms of energy harvesting.

The issues of the physical layer security are studied, where one transmitter (Alice), one full-duplex (FD) legitimate receiver (Bob) and one multi-antenna jammer (Charlie) are considered to defend against multiple passive and non-colluding eavesdroppers (Eves), for multiple-input multiple-output wiretap channels. With the assumption that the complete channel state information (CSI) for main channels and the statistical CSI for Eves' channels are available, an improved secrecy transmission design is proposed to minimise the secrecy outage probability (SOP), under the minimum secrecy rate requirement. In addition to integrating artificial noise aided transmit beamforming and multi-antenna cooperative jammer to impair Eves' channels, which is widely used in many existing works, a FD legitimate receiver is applied together to further enhance physical layer security. Based on the basic probability theory and convex optimisation, the accurate closed-form expression of the SOP is derived, and the impacts on secrecy performance are described, including the qualities of main channels, the Alice's transmit power and the number of Eves. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme using the FD Bob can significantly enhance the system security, as compared with that employing the half-duplex Bob.
