Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and more particularly to a RIS-assisted method for optimizing the network energy efficiency of cellular-free massive MIMO networks. Background Technology
[0002] As wireless networks evolve towards 6G, the surge in data-intensive services has driven an urgent demand for high-speed traffic. Cellular-free massive MIMO networks, as an innovative architecture, serve users collaboratively through distributed access points, significantly reducing inter-cell interference and improving link robustness. However, the dense deployment of active access points also leads to high power consumption, posing a serious challenge to the long-term sustainable operation of the network.
[0003] RIS, as an emerging green communication technology, enhances signal coverage with extremely low energy consumption by passively controlling the electromagnetic wave propagation environment. Introducing RIS into non-cellular massive MIMO networks can effectively compensate for the high energy consumption caused by dense deployment, achieving a dual improvement in network spectral efficiency and energy efficiency, and providing a key path for the efficient and energy-saving operation of future networks.
[0004] The combination of RIS and non-cellular massive MIMO not only enhances the received signal of legitimate users through intelligent reflection but also effectively suppresses the signal reception capabilities of eavesdroppers, thereby significantly enhancing the physical layer security of the network. This collaborative architecture offers a highly promising solution to address the dual challenges of security and energy efficiency in future wireless networks.
[0005] While existing research has explored physical layer security in RIS-assisted non-cellular MIMO networks, systematic analysis and optimization of Security Efficiency (SEE) remains very limited, particularly in scenarios with multiple eavesdroppers and imperfect CSI. An accurate analytical framework and efficient joint resource allocation scheme are lacking to quantify and maximize the security efficiency of this architecture. Therefore, this study focuses on maximizing security efficiency in RIS-assisted non-cellular MIMO networks with multi-eavesdropper cooperation and imperfect CSI under Ricean fading channels. A complete performance analysis, theoretical derivation, and optimization algorithm are proposed, possessing significant theoretical value and practical application implications. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Based on the aforementioned problem of maximizing SEE in downlink RIS-assisted massive MIMO networks without cellular infrastructure and multiple eavesdroppers, this invention provides a RIS-assisted network security energy efficiency optimization method for massive MIMO networks without cellular infrastructure. First, uplink channel estimation is performed using the LMMSE method, in which all user equipment and eavesdroppers share the same pilot set. Based on imperfect channel state information, and by introducing artificial noise and coordinated beamforming precoding, closed-form lower bounds for SASR and SEE are derived, establishing an analytical performance benchmark. To solve the non-convex SEE maximization problem, a novel alternating optimization framework integrating Riemannian manifold optimization and path tracing algorithms is proposed. This method successfully transforms the original coupled problem into a series of tractable subproblems. Simulation results verify the superiority of the proposed alternating optimization algorithm in terms of performance and convergence robustness, achieving a significant SEE gain compared to the benchmark scheme.

During the downlink transmission phase, all base stations simultaneously send data symbols to the user equipment and embed artificial noise superimposed on the downlink security signal to prevent eavesdropping without affecting the normal communication of the user equipment.

Establish an upper bound on the eavesdropper leakage rate, specifically including: Assuming all eavesdroppers have complete knowledge of the instantaneous channel information and simultaneously eavesdrop on all legitimate user equipment, in this scenario, all eavesdroppers connect to a centralized eavesdropping fusion center. This center uses maximum ratio combining (MRC) technology to coherently combine the received signals, applying the UatF method to the eavesdroppers. In the received signal, the leakage rate and SINR of all eavesdroppers coexisting are expressed as:

[0298] Given that the analytical security performance boundary derived in step S4 is a core tool for network design, we first verify its performance at user reachable rates. Information leakage rate and network security reachability and speed ( Figure 4 ) and SEE ( Figure 5 The accuracy of these closed boundaries is examined. These closed boundaries are compared with Monte Carlo simulation results to investigate their performance under RPS and FPT schemes as downlink transmission power (…). The forms of change are shown. All indicators show a high degree of agreement, verifying the accuracy of the derived analytical expression and supporting its reliability for subsequent SEE optimization. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the rate , and All values monotonically increase with downlink transmission power, eventually approaching a saturation limit. This trend indicates that while increasing downlink power can improve the desired performance, it also increases the overall performance of the transmission. However, this will also exacerbate the unfavorable situation. ,lead to It exhibits asymptotic characteristics. Furthermore, Figure 4 The display shows an increase in uplink pilot power ( This can significantly improve secure rate performance, highlighting the importance of channel estimation accuracy. The key impact. Finally. Figure 5 This reflects that SEE first peaks as downlink transmission power increases, and then declines. This indicates that while excessive transmission power can bring marginal gains in safety capacity, it will significantly increase energy consumption, ultimately leading to a decrease in SEE, thus emphasizing the necessity of optimal resource allocation.
[0299] Figure 6 and Figure 7 The proposed solution algorithm was comprehensively evaluated, with analyses conducted from both statistical performance and computational efficiency perspectives. Figure 6The cumulative distribution function shows that the proposed AO algorithm exhibits significant stochastic dominance, with its curve located on the far right. This result confirms that, compared to benchmark schemes such as the GA scheme and various hybrid methods, the AO algorithm achieves a significantly better SEE with the highest probability. Figure 7 The convergence behavior of the algorithm under different channel implementations is demonstrated, validating the computational efficiency of the proposed framework. The AO algorithm exhibits excellent convergence speed, stably reaching the maximum SEE within a finite number of iterations (typically less than 20). This rapid convergence is attributed to the robustness of its internal optimization steps: the initial transient oscillations of the PF algorithm and the smooth but slower convergence process of the IALMO algorithm jointly ensure the stability and speed of the outer AO loop. In summary, these results demonstrate that the AO-based framework achieves an effective trade-off between maximizing SEE and maintaining low computational complexity.
[0300] Figure 8 The proposed AO algorithm was compared and evaluated with the benchmark method under four different hardware configurations to achieve the highest SEE. It is clear that the proposed AO algorithm achieves optimal performance in all four scenarios, consistently obtaining the highest SEE value. For example, in the largest scale configuration (… Under these conditions, the AO scheme achieves its maximum SEE, significantly outperforming GA and various hybrid schemes. Although scaling up hardware leads to marginal improvements in SEE, the most crucial finding is that the performance difference brought about by the optimization algorithm far outweighs the performance gains achieved solely through hardware expansion. This confirms that the key bottleneck to maximizing SEE is not simply the physical scaling of MIMO and RIS units, but rather the refined centralized resource allocation scheme provided by the AO framework.
[0301] In summary, the simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed alternative optimization algorithm in terms of performance and convergence robustness, achieving a significant SEE gain compared to the benchmark scheme.
