Description
Summary:In this paper, we consider the resource allocation problem to maximize the minimum (max−min) user’s secure energy efficiency (SEE) in downlink massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). First, transmission power and power splitting ratio are designed to achieve the max−min user’s SEE subject to harvested energy threshold, the constraints of transmission power, and power splitting ratio. Secondly, the optimization problem is non-convex and very difficult to tackle. In order to solve the optimization problem, we converted to a series of parameter optimization subproblems by fractional programming. Then, we employ the first-order Taylor expansion and successive convex approximation (SCA) method to solve parameter optimization problems. Next, a secure energy-efficient resource allocation (SERA) algorithm with the bisection method is proposed to find the max−min SEE of the system. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness and superiority of the SERA algorithm.
