Secure communication approach for Internet of things based on C-RAN fronthaul compression by Yong WANG, Mu ZHOU, Zengshan TIAN, Jinjun WU

“…A resource allocation algorithm was proposed for downlink C-RAN secure communication system.This algorithm jointly optimized the parameters of base station (BS) mode,quantized noise and beamforming under the constraints of SINR requirements of Internet of things information receiver,eavesdropped receiver and fronthaul link capacity.Such a design was a non-convex optimization problem,and a step-by step optimization algorithm was proposed to decompose the original optimization problem efficiently.Semi-definite technique and function smoothing approach were adopted,and the local optimization solution of the original problem was obtained by the iterative different of convex method.Bi-section approach was further proposed to determine BS mode,and the transmitting power of the BSs were finally optimized.Simulation results indicate that the proposed joint optimization algorithm achieves better performance than group sparse optimization algorithm and baseline algorithm,and it has approximate optimal performance as the exhaustive search algorithm.…”
