Abstract

The problem of robust relay beamforming for the multiple-antenna amplify-and-forward (AF) relay network in the presence of an eavesdropper is studied in the paper, with the partial eavesdropper's channel side information (ECSI) scenario being considered. In our work, the uncertainty of ECSI is modeled by using a bounded region, which imposes independent constraints on the channel gain and direction. We propose a new rank-2 relay beamformer with a special singular value decomposition (SVD) structure, whose optimal solution for the worst-case secrecy rate maximization problem can be derived via simple line searching. Furthermore, the asymptotic optimality of the proposed rank-2 beamformer is proved in the high-relay-power region under certain condition, with the performance of the proposed beamformer being verified by using numerical experiments.
