A multiple-input single-output cognitive radio downlink network is studied with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer. In this network, a secondary user coexists with multiple primary users and multiple energy harvesting receivers. In order to guarantee secure communication and energy harvesting, the problem of robust secure artificial noiseaided beamforming and power splitting design is investigated under imperfect channel state information (CSI). Specifically, the transmit power minimization problem and the max-min fairness energy harvesting problem are formulated for both the bounded CSI error model and the probabilistic CSI error model. These problems are non-convex and challenging to solve. A 1-D search algorithm is proposed to solve these problems based on S-Procedure under the bounded CSI error model and based on Bernstein-type inequalities under the probabilistic CSI error model. It is shown that the optimal robust secure beamforming can be achieved under the bounded CSI error model, whereas a suboptimal beamforming solution can be obtained under the probabilistic CSI error model. A tradeoff is elucidated between the secrecy rate of the secondary user receiver and the energy harvested by the energy harvesting receivers under a max-min fairness criterion.
