contents We propose a new transmit antenna selection (TAS) technique that can be beneficial for physical layer security purposes. Specifically, we show that the conventional TAS criterion based on the legitimate channel state information (CSI) is not recommended when the average signal-to-noise ratio for the illegitimate user becomes comparable or superior to that of the legitimate user. We illustrate that an eavesdropper's based antenna selection technique outperforms conventional TAS, without explicit knowledge of the eavesdropper's instantaneous CSI. Analytical expressions and simulation results to support this comparison are given, showing how this new TAS scheme is a better choice in scenarios with a strong eavesdropper.
