Beamforming for Secure Wireless Information and Power Transfer in Terrestrial Networks Coexisting With Satellite Networks

This letter proposes a beamforming (BF) scheme to enhance wireless information and power transfer in terrestrial cellular networks coexisting with satellite networks. By assuming that the energy receivers are the potential eavesdroppers overhearing signals intended for information receivers (IRs), we first formulate a constrained optimization problem to maximize the minimal achievable secrecy rate of the IRs subject to the constraints of energy harvest requirement, interference threshold, and transmit power budget. Through exploiting the sequential convex approximation method, we convert the original problem into a linear one with a series of linear matrix inequality and second-order cone constraints. An iterative algorithm is then proposed to obtain the BF weight vectors. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed scheme.
