MIMO Multiple Access Channel with an Arbitrarily Varying Eavesdropper

A two-transmitter Gaussian multiple access wiretap channel with multiple antennas at each of the nodes is investigated. The channel matrices at the legitimate terminals are fixed and revealed to all the terminals, whereas the channel matrix of the eavesdropper is arbitrarily varying and only known to the eavesdropper. The secrecy degrees of freedom (s.d.o.f.) region under a strong secrecy constraint is characterized. A transmission scheme that orthogonalizes the transmit signals of the two users at the intended receiver and uses a single-user wiretap code is shown to be sufficient to achieve the s.d.o.f. region. The converse involves establishing an upper bound on a weightedsum-rate expression. This is accomplished by using induction, where at each step one combines the secrecy and multipleaccess constraints associated with an adversary eavesdropping a carefully selected group of sub-channels.
