Abstract

We investigate the problem of secure transmission over a two-user multi-input multi-output (MIMO) X-channel with noiseless local feedback and delayed channel state information (CSI) available at transmitters. The transmitters are equipped with M antennas each, and the receivers are equipped with N antennas each. For this model, we characterize the optimal sum secure degrees of freedom (SDoF) region. We show that, in presence of local feedback and delayed CSI, the sum SDoF region of the MIMO X-channel is same as the SDoF region of a two-user MIMO BC with 2M antennas at the transmitter and N antennas at each receiver. This result shows that, upon availability of feedback and delayed CSI, there is no performance loss in sum SDoF due to the distributed nature of the transmitters. Next, we show that this result also holds if only global feedback is conveyed to the transmitters. We also study the case in which only local feedback is provided to the transmitters, i.e., without CSI, and derive a lower bound on the sum SDoF for this model. Furthermore, we specialize our results to the case in which there are no security constraints. In particular, similar to the setting with security constraints, we show that the optimal sum degrees of freedom (sum DoF) region of the (M, M, N, N)-MIMO X-channel is same of the DoF region of a two-user MIMO BC with 2M antennas at the transmitter and N antennas at each receiver. We illustrate our results with some numerical examples.
