Abstract
Due to its capability of channel reconfiguration and enhancement, intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) can be introduced to improve the secrecy rate of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks. However, the cost and hardware complexity of full-digital beamforming in existing related studies are high, especially for the systems with massive antennas. This paper studies the robust secure transmission for IRS-aided NOMA networks with cost-effective hybrid beamforming. Specifically, we deploy an IRS to assist the secure transmission from a base station with cost-effective hybrid beamforming to a cell-center user (U1) and a cell-edge user (U2), with the existence of a potential eavesdropper. Two schemes are proposed for guaranteeing the secure transmission of U1 with the perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI), respectively. With the perfect CSI, the secrecy rate of U1 is maximized subject to the constant modulus constraint and the quality of service (QoS) constraint of U2 via optimizing the hybrid beamforming and phase shifts of IRS. With the imperfect CSI, the achievable rate at U1 is maximized, satisfying its worst-case eavesdropping rate constraint, the constant modulus constraint and the QoS constraint of U2. Because of the non-convexity, we first decompose each problem into two subproblems, respectively. Then, the subproblems are solved via the penalty-based algorithm and the successive convex approximation. Simulation results verify that the two proposed schemes have higher energy efficiency and can boost the security of IRS-aided NOMA networks with perfect and imperfect CSI, respectively.
