Abstract
This paper studies the dirty-paper coding (DPC) based secure transmission in a multiuser broadcast channel. Since the encoding order of DPC determines which information-bearing signals must be treated as noise by potential eavesdroppers, adopting DPC enables the accurate characterization of the intrinsic secrecy as well as secrecy outage of multiuser broadcasting. Furthermore, the information-bearing signals can be designed to provide secrecy in addition to supporting normal (unclassified) transmission. To show this, we consider the scenario where one user requests secure transmission and the other users request normal transmission, and propose a hybrid secure transmission scheme which combines zero-forcing DPC and artificial noise (AN). By solving the secrecy rate maximization problem under constraints on the secrecy outage probability and the normal communication rates, we find that in addition to supporting the normal transmission, the proposed scheme has the potential to achieve a secrecy rate close to that of the traditional AN-based beamforming.
