A precoding scheme for physical layer security of multiple-input single-output (MISO) wiretap channel with spatial correlation is designed. Quality-of-service (QoS) of the link is defined in terms of upper bounds on average symbol error rate function at Bob (legitimate user) and Eve (illegitimate user). Specifically, two problems are considered. First, a precoder matrix is designed to minimise the average transmitted power subject to QoS requirements at Bob and Eve. Next, we propose two algorithms to minimize QoS of illegitimate party for a given reliability level, depending on whether main user link has no correlation or is fully correlated. Our result for uncorrelated case demonstrate that by increasing the allocated power, main user can increase secrecy level up to an optimum point above which both legitimate and illegitimate receivers experience adequate QoS in their links. In fully correlated case, the problem is identified as an instance of concave minimisation over a polytope, and optimum power allocation is obtained via the widely known vertex enumeration algorithm. In both cases, our simulations validate the analysis significantly. The results confirm that linear precoding is able to trade average power against minimum achievable Eve performance.

A low complexity precoding method is proposed for practical multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Based on the two-step optimal precoder design algorithm that maximises the lower bound of the mutual information with finite-alphabet inputs, the proposed method simplifies the precoder design by fixing the right singular vectors of the precoder matrix, eliminating the iterative optimisation between the two steps, and discretising the search space of the power allocation vector. For a 4 x 4 channel, the computational complexity of the proposed precoder design is reduced to 3 and 6% of that required by the original two-step algorithm with quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and 8 phase-shift keying (8PSK), respectively. The proposed method achieves nearly the same mutual information as the two-step iterative algorithm for a large range of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region, especially for large MIMO size and/or high constellation systems. The proposed precoding design method is applied to a 2 x 2 MIMO-OFDM system with 2048 subcarriers by designing 1024 precoders for extended channel matrices of size 4 x 4. A transceiver test bed implements these precoding matrices in comparison with other existing precoding schemes. Indoor experiments are conducted for fixed-platform non-line-of-sight channels, and the data processing results show that the proposed precoding method achieves the lowest bit error rate compared with maximum diversity, classic water-filling and channel diagonalisation methods.

Analytical expressions for the symbol error rate (SER) of MIMO systems are important from both design and analysis point of views. This paper derives exact and easy to evaluate analytical expression for the SER of an orthogonal space-time block coded (OSTBC) MIMO system with spatially correlated antennas, in which the channel signal propagation suffers from a degenerative effect known as a keyhole. These expressions are valid for complex valued correlations between antenna elements. Numerical results obtained by simulations are presented to confirm the validity of the analytical SER expressions for several multilevel modulation schemes. Subsequently, a procedure for designing a linear precoder which exploits the knowledge of the channel correlation matrix at the transmitter to enhance the performance of the above system is given. To this end, the exact SER expression is minimized by using a gradient descent algorithm. To demonstrate the performance improvements achievable with the proposed precoder, numerical results obtained in several design examples are presented and compared. Copyright (c) 2008 P.
