Real interference alignment for the K-user Gaussian interference compound wiretap channel

We study the K-user Gaussian interference wiretap channel with N external eavesdroppers. All the transmitters, receivers and eavesdroppers have a single antenna each. We propose an achievable scheme to lower bound the secure degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) for each transmitter-receiver pair. Our approach is based on the (real) interference alignment technique. Our achievable scheme not only aligns the interference at each receiver to prevent the d.o.f. from vanishing, but also aligns the signals observed by the eavesdroppers to reduce the secrecy penalty. The achievable secure d.o.f. of each transmitter-receiver pair is shown to be equations for almost all channel gains.
