Abstract
This paper focuses on secure backscatter transmission in the presence of a passive multi-antenna eavesdropper through a symbiotic radio (SR) network. Specifically, a single-antenna backscatter device (BD) aims to transmit confidential information to a primary receiver (PR) by using a multi-antenna primary transmitter's (PT) signal, where the received symbols are jointly decoded at the PR. Our objective is to achieve confidential communications for BD while ensuring that the primary system's quality of service (QoS) requirements are met. We propose an alternating optimisation algorithm that maximises the achievable secrecy rate of BD by jointly optimising primary transmit beamforming and power sharing between information and artificial noise (AN) signals. Numerical results verify our analytical claims on the optimality of the proposed solution and the proposed methodology's underlying…
