Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose a secure transmission framework for near-field MIMO-NOMA systems. This architecture integrates beamforming mechanisms for both transmission and reception, allowing the base station to send encrypted information to authorized users, effectively countering eavesdropping attempts in a near-field environment. To optimize the secrecy communication capability in the near field, a two-phase alternating optimization algorithm is introduced. In the first phase, the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) method is used to relax constraints in the problem and convert it into a semidefinite programming (SDP) problem. In the second phase, the successive convex approximation (SCA) algorithm is employed to transform the original non-convex problem into a convex optimization problem, obtaining a locally optimal solution through multiple iterations. Simulation results validate that the proposed near-field communication strategy exhibits superior secrecy communication capabilities under various parameter settings compared to far-field communication strategies.
