Abstract
In this paper, we consider a cellular downlink multipleinput-single-output (MISO) nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) secure transmission system, where users are grouped as multiple clusters. Each cluster consists of a central user and a cell-edge user. The central user is an entrusted user, and the cell-edge user is a potential eavesdropper. We focus on the secure beamforming and power allocation design optimization problem which maximizes the sum achievable secrecy rate of central users subject to the transmit power constraint at the base station and transmission rate requirements at cell-edge users. The problem is non-convex because of coupling optimization variables in the considered fractional quadratically constrained quadratic programming. We propose an alternating optimization-based solution and a constrained concave-convex procedure-based solution to the considered problem. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed NOMA schemes outperform the conventional orthogonal multiple access scheme.
