Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the secure rate-splitting for the two-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadcast channel with imperfect channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) and a multiple-antenna jammer, where each receiver has an equal number of antennas and the jammer has perfect channel state information (CSI). Specifically, we design a secure rate-splitting multiple-access strategy, where the security of split private and common messages is ensured by precoder design with joint nulling and aligning the leakage information, regarding different antenna configurations. Moreover, we show that the sum-secure degrees-of-freedom (SDoF) achieved by secure rate-splitting is optimal and outperforms that by conventional zero-forcing. Therefore, we reveal the sum-SDoF of the two-user MIMO broadcast channel with imperfect CSIT and a jammer, and validate the superiority of rate-splitting for the security purpose in this scenario with emphasis of MIMO.
