In this chapter, we consider a general scenario with a hybrid time and spatial AN-injection scheme. In particular, we consider the MIMOME-OFDM wiretap channel, where each node is equipped with multiple antennas and the legitimate transmitter (Alice) has perfect knowledge of the CSI for the wireless links to her legitimate receiver (Bob) only, while the eavesdropper (Eve) has perfect CSI knowledge of all the links in the network. This global CSI assumption at Eve represents the best case scenario for Eve (the worst case scenario for Alice/Bob) since she knows all the channels between Alice and Bob as well as the used data and AN precoders at Alice. We exploit the spatial and temporal degrees of freedom provided by the available antennas and by the cyclic prefix (CP) structure of OFDM blocks, respectively, to confuse Eve and, hence, increase the secrecy rate of the legitimate system.
