Beamforming and Phase Shift Design for HR-IRS-aided Directional Modulation Network with a Malicious Attacker
share
In this paper, we propose to use hybrid relay-intelligent reflecting surface (HR-IRS) to improve the security performance of directional modulation (DM) system. In particular, the eavesdropper in this system works in full-duplex (FD) mode and he will eavesdrop on the confidential message (CM) as well as send malicious jamming. We aim to maximize the secrecy rate (SR) by jointly optimizing the receive beamforming, transmit beamforming and phase shift matrix (PSM) of HR-IRS. Since the optimization problem is un-convex and the variables are coupled to each other, we solve this problem by iteratively optimizing these variables. The receive beamforming and transmit beamforming are obtained based on generalized Rayleigh-Ritz theorem and Dinkelbach's Transform respectively. And for PSM, two methods, called separate optimization of PSM (SO-PSM) and joint optimization of PSM (JO-PSM) are proposed. Thus, two iterative algorithms are proposed accordingly, namely maximizing SR based on SO-PSM (Max-SR-SOP) and maximizing SR based on JO-PSM (Max-SR-JOP). The former has better performance and the latter has lower complexity. The simulation results show that when HR-IRS has sufficient power budget, the proposed Max-SR-SOP and Max-SR-JOP can enable HR-IRS-aided DM network to obtain higher SR than passive IRS-aided DM network.
