Abstract

In this paper, a resource allocation scheme based on physical layer security under non-ideal condition for OFDMA system is introduced. Firstly, the program uses the information security constructing an OFDMA system Wiretap Channel Model under non-ideal condition. Based on this model, arti?cial noise is generated for secure communications combatting passive multiple eavesdroppers. In order to maximize the average secrecy outage capacity without channel state information of eavesdroppers, we use dual decomposition method to implement subcarriers and power allocation in joint optimization. Simulation results show that the average secrecy outage capacity can achieve 7.81 bit/s/Hz while secrecy outage probability is 0.05 with 50 dB mtransmitpower and 64 sub-carrier for 8 authorized users.
