Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (STAR-RISs) have recently been employed to enhance the secure transmission due to the ability to manipulate the full-space electromagnetic signals. Prior works mainly investigate the single STAR-RIS aided secure communication system, which does not reveal the potential of the cooperative inter-STAR-RIS link. In this paper, a double STAR-RIS enhanced secure communication network involving multiple legitimate users (LUs) and eavesdroppers (Eves) is proposed. For fairness, the minimum secrecy rate maximization problem is formulated by jointly optimizing the active beamforming and passive transmission and reflection (T&R) beamforming. To deal with the highly non-convex nonlinear optimization problem, an active and passive beamforming optimization algorithm is proposed by employing the alternating optimization method. Wherein, a low-complexity sequential constraint relaxation (SCR) based algorithm is designed to solve the passive T&R beamforming optimization problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the secure performance in the double STAR-RIS assisted system outperforms that in the single RIS/double RIS/single STAR-RIS aided network. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm significantly reduces computational time (i.e., resource allocation time) compared with the traditional SCR based beamforming optimization algorithm.
