This paper studies the transmit antenna selection in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system over wiretap channel. The transmitter, equipped with a large-scale antenna array whose size is much larger than that of the eavesdropper and legitimate receiver, selects a subset of antennas to transmit messages. An branch-and-bound (BAB) search based algorithm for antenna selection in independent and identical Rayleigh flat fading channel is proposed to maximize the secrecy capacity between the transmitter and the legitimate receiver when the transmit power is equally allocated into the active antennas. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is separately applied to two scenarios which is based on whether the channel side information of the eavesdropper (CSIE) is available. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has the same performance as the exhaustive search under both scenarios but with much lower complexity.
