Abstract

The paper explores the issue of multiple-user fairness of intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted physical layer security (PLS) in the digital twin (DT)-enabler power grid. Previous research works have focused on achieving secrecy rate fairness through beamforming or phase shift optimization. However, in the DT-enabler power grid, the secrecy rate is not available as the instantaneous channel state information (CSI) of the passive eavesdropper is unknown. To address these challenges, we apply an expression for secrecy outage probability, measured based on the statistical CSI of the eavesdropper for the scenario where multiple DT users are present. Using zero-forcing (ZF) precoding at the transmitter, we formulate the problem of achieving fairness in secrecy outage probability, and then solve it by optimizing the phase shift matrices. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods can achieve higher fairness among users in comparison to existing IRS-assisted PLS schemes.
