    Abstract

    This paper is a survey of transmit antenna selectiona low-complexity, energy-efficient method for improving physical layer security in multiple-input multiple-output wiretap channels. With this method, a single antenna out of multiple antennas is selected at the transmitter. We review a general analytical framework for analyzing exact and asymptotic secrecy of transmit antenna selection with receive maximal ratio combining, selection combining, or generalized selection combining. The analytical results prove that secrecy is significantly improved when the number of transmit antennas increases.
