基于硬件损伤的智能反射面辅助安全通信系统能效优化算法

为了克服阴影衰落和障碍物阻挡的影响，智能反射面(IRS)已经成为一种提高无线通信系统能量效率(EE)和降低硬件成本的有效技术。然而，传统无线资源分配(RA)算法忽略了系统收发机硬件损伤(HIs)的影响，由于放大器非线性、相位噪声的影响使得接收信号失真，从而使得这类算法的系统性能下降。为解决该问题，通过考虑收发机的硬件损伤和网络窃听者的影响，该文研究基于硬件损伤的IRS辅助安全通信系统能效优化问题。首先，基于基站的最大发射功率约束和用户的最小安全速率约束，建立一个含硬件损伤的能效最大资源优化问题。其次，采用辅助变量替换、半正定松弛以及Dinkelbach等方法，将原非凸问题转化为凸问题进行求解。最后，数值仿真结果表明，该算法与传统资源分配算法相比，合法用户的平均中断概率降低了43.5%，该算法中系统的安全能效提高了8.3%，因此，该算法具有较好的抗硬件损伤性和安全性。

Energy-efficient Algorithm for Intelligent Reflecting Surface-aided Secure Communication Systems with Hardware Impairments

To mitigate the effects of shadow fading and obstacle blocking, Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) has become an effective technology to improve Energy Efficiency (EE) and reduce hardware cost of wireless communication systems. However, traditional radio Resource Allocation (RA) algorithms have ignored the impact of Hardware Impairments (HIs) of system’s transceivers. Since the distorted received signals are caused by the nonlinearity of amplifiers and the influence of phase noise. so that this type of algorithm can degrade system performance. To deal with this issue, Hardware Impairments of the transceiver and the influence of eavesdroppers is considered, and the problem of energy-saving optimization of hardware impairment in IRS-assisted secure communication systems is investigated. Firstly, an EE-based maximization resource optimization problem is formulated under the maximum transmit power constraint of the base station and the minimum secure rate constraints of users. Secondly, the original non-convex problem is transformed into a convex problem by using the auxiliary variable substitution, semidefinite relaxation and Dinkelbach’s method. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is improved 8.3% in terms of security EE and is reduced by 43.5% in terms of the outage probability of legitimate users by comparing it with the traditional RA algorithms without HIs. Therefore, the proposed algorithm has better security and hardware damage resistance.
