Multiple Access Channels with Generalized Feedback and Confidential Messages

Abstract

This paper considers the problem of secret communication over a multiple access channel with generalized feedback. Two trusted users send independent confidential messages to an intended receiver, in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. In this setting, an active cooperation between two trusted users is enabled through using channel feedback in order to improve the communication efficiency. Based on rate-splitting and decode-and-forward strategies, achievable secrecy rate regions are derived for both discrete memoryless and Gaussian channels. Results show that channel feedback improves the achievable secrecy rates.

Achievable secrecy rate of the relay-eavesdropper channel with generalized feedback

Yayan Ma, Bao Jing, Junxi Zhao +1 more

We consider the relay-eavesdropper channel with generalized feedback at the source node. In the presence of a wire-tapper, the source can send confidential messages to an intended receiver with the help of the trusted relay. With a generalized feedback from the relay to the source node, the cooperation between the source node and relay node may be enhanced. The achievable secrecy rate region for this channel is derived by using rate splitting strategy and decode-and-forward (DF) strategy at the source node and compress-and-forward (CF) strategy at the relay node.

Imperfect and Perfect Secrecy in Compound Multiple Access Channel With Confidential Message

Hassan ZivariFard, Bahareh Akhbari, Mahmoud Ahmadian‐Attari +1 more

In this paper, we study the problem of secret communication over a compound Multiple Access Channel (MAC). In this channel, we assume that one of the transmitted messages is confidential, which is only decoded by its corresponding receiver and kept secret from the other receiver. We call this proposed setting the compound MAC with a confidential message. For this model, we derive general inner and outer bounds for both imperfect and perfect secrecy conditions for the second receiver. Also, as examples, we investigate less noisy and Gaussian versions of this channel, and extend the results of the discrete memoryless version to these cases. Moreover, providing numerical examples for the Gaussian case, we illustrate the comparison between achievable rate regions of compound MAC and compound MAC with a confidential message. In addition, for the Gaussian case, we show that using cooperative jamming strategy can increase the achievable secrecy rate between the legitimate transmitter and the receiver.

In this paper, we study the problem of secret communication over a Compound Multiple Access Channel (MAC). In this channel, we assume that one of the transmitted messages is confidential that is only decoded by its corresponding receiver and kept secret from the other receiver. For this proposed setting (compound MAC with confidential messages), we derive general inner and outer bounds on the secrecy capacity region. Also, as examples, we investigate `Less noisy' and `Gaussian' versions of this channel, and extend the results of the discrete memoryless version to these cases. Moreover, providing numerical examples for the Gaussian case, we illustrate the comparison between achievable rate regions of compound MAC and compound MAC with confidential messages.

Generalized multiple-access relay channel with confidential messages

Amir Sonee, Somayeh Salimi, Mahmoud Salmasizadeh

In this paper, we propose information theoretic schemes that achieve the rate-equivocation regions for the multiple-access relay channel with confidential messages. This channel consists of two users that play the role of eavesdropper for each other's message and a relay that helps them to have a reliable and secure communication. The relay can itself be an eavesdropper of the users messages. The first coding scheme used for achievability is noise forwarding strategy and the second is the combination of noise forwarding with the compress and forward strategy. In the first one, relay cooperates with the users to have a confidential communication by sending codewords independent of the secret messages. In the second one, in addition to sending independent codewords, relay also sends compressed version of the received signals. Using these schemes, we derive the inner bounds for the capacity-equivocation region of the described model.

Rate Regions for Multiple Access Channel With Conference and Secrecy Constraints

Peng Xu, Zhiguo Ding, Xuchu Dai

This paper studies the impact of partial encoder cooperation on the secrecy of the multiple access channel (MAC) with an external eavesdropper. In particular, two encoders, connected by two communication links with finite capacities, wish to send secret messages to the common intended decoder in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. The inner and outer bounds on the secrecy capacity are derived for the discrete memoryless channel. The derived inner bound rate region is achievable by combining Willems's coding for the MAC with partially cooperating encoders and Wyner's random binning for the wiretap channel. Then, both the inner and outer bounds are extended to the Gaussian case and the corresponding rate regions are established. Several simple achievable transmission schemes are proposed for the Gaussian channel and the numerical results show that the partial encoder cooperation can increase the achievable rate regions.

On the Secrecy Capacity Region of Multiple Access Wire-tap Channel with Common Message

Hassan ZivariFard, Bahareh Akhbari, Mahmoud Ahmadian‐Attari +1 more

In this paper, we study the problem of secret communication over a Multiple Access Wire-tap Channel with Common Message. Here, we assume that two transmitters have confidential messages which must be kept secret from the eavesdropper (the second receiver), and both of them have access to a common message which can be decoded by two receivers. For this setting, we derive general inner and outer bounds on the secrecy capacity region for the discrete memoryless case as well as for Gaussian one. Providing numerical examples for the Gaussian case, we illustrate the comparison between derived achievable rate regions and outer bounds for our considered model and the capacity region of compound multiple access channel.
