On the Secrecy Capacity of a Full-Duplex Wirelessly Powered Communication System

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy capacity of a point-to-point, full-duplex (FD) wirelesly powered communication system in the presence of a passive eavesdropper (EVE). The considered system is comprised of an energy transmitter (ET), an energy harvesting user (EHU), and a passive EVE. The ET transmits radio-frequency energy, which is used for powering the EHU as well as for generating interference at the EVE. The EHU uses the energy harvested from the ET to transmit confidential messages back to the ET. As a consequence of the FD mode of operation, both the EHU and the ET are subjected to self-interference, which has different effects at the two nodes. In particular, the self-interference impairs the decoding of the received message at the ET, whilst it serves as an additional energy source at the EHU. For this system model, we derive an upper and a lower bound on the secrecy capacity. For the lower bound, we propose a simple achievability scheme. Our numerical results show significant improvements in terms of achievable secrecy rate when the proposed communication scheme is employed against its half-duplex counterpart, even for practical self-interference values at the ET.

Towards secure communication via a wireless-powered full-duplex jammer

He Henry Chen, Chao Zhai, Yonghui Li +1 more

This paper explores the use of a full-duplex (FD) friendly jammer to secure the communication between a transmitter and a receiver in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. The friendly jammer is considered as a wireless-powered node without embedded power supply but can harvest energy from radio frequency (RF) signals, accumulate it in the storage, and use the harvested energy to perform the cooperative jamming (CJ). A novel CJ protocol termed accumulate-and-jam (AnJ) is proposed to improve the jammer efficiency, which splits the transmission blocks into dedicated energy harvesting (DEH) blocks and opportunistic energy harvesting (OEH) blocks. In DEH blocks, the transmitter transfers wireless power to replenish the jammer. In OEH blocks, the transmitter sends information to the receiver. Using the accumulated energy, the jammer transmits jamming signals to confound the eavesdropper. Mean-while, thanks to the FD capability, the jammer can continue to harvest energy from the signals overheard from the transmitter. Compared with the existing protocols using a wireless powered half-duplex (HD) jammer, the proposed design possesses the advantage of uninterrupted energy harvesting at the jammer. A closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability of the considered system is derived. Numerical results show that our proposed AnJ protocol can significantly outperform its HD counterpart in terms of secrecy outage probability.

Impact of Self-Energy Recycling and Cooperative Jamming on SWIPT-Based FD Relay Networks With Secrecy Constraints

Isabella W. G. da Silva, José David Vega Sánchez, Edgar Eduardo Benítez Olivo +1 more

This paper investigates the secrecy performance of a power splitting-based simultaneous wireless information and power transfer cooperative relay network in the presence of an eavesdropper. The relay is considered to operate in full-duplex (FD) mode to perform both energy harvesting and information decoding simultaneously. To accomplish that, the relay is assumed to employ two rechargeable batteries, which switch between power supplying mode and charging mode at each transmission block. We also assume that the self-interference inherent of the FD mode is not completely suppressed. Therefore, it is assumed that, after some stages of passive and active self-interference cancellation, there is still a residual self-interference (RSI). A portion of this RSI (remaining after passive cancellation) is recycled for energy harvesting. In order to improve the system secrecy performance, it is considered that the relay can split its transmit power to send the information signal and to emit a jamming signal to degrade the eavesdropper’s channel. The secrecy performance is evaluated in terms of the secrecy outage probability and the optimal secrecy throughput. Tight-approximate and asymptotic expressions are obtained for the secrecy outage probability, and the particle swarm optimization method is employed for addressing the secrecy throughput optimization problem. From numerical results, we show that the secrecy performance can be increased depending on the self-energy recycling channel condition. Finally, our derived expressions are validated via Monte Carlo simulations.

Physical Layer Security of WPCNs With Imperfect CSI and Full-Duplex Receiver Aided Jamming

Mu Li, Hao Yin, Yuzhen Huang +2 more

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance of wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) faced by multiple passive eavesdroppers, where the full-duplex (FD) receiver utilizes the harvested energy to send the artificial jamming for enhancing the secrecy performance. Moreover, we adopt a practical maximal ratio transmission (MRT) scheme at the transmitter taking into account the impact of imperfect CSI to try to improve the transmission efficiency of the considered system. Specifically, in order to evaluate the proposed scheme, three important performance metrics, namely, connect outage probability (COP), secrecy outage probability (SOP), and secrecy throughput are adopted in this paper. Concretely, the exact and asymptotic expressions for COP, SOP, and secrecy throughput were derived to effectively analyze the impact of key parameters on the system performance more comprehensively. Through the simulation analysis, we can find that the proposed energy harvesting-based FD-aid jamming (EHFDJ) scheme can achieve better secrecy performance than the reduced half-duplex non-jamming (HDNJ) scheme under a relatively small self-interference.

Joint resource allocation for secrecy wireless powered communication networks with an active eavesdropper

Zhixiang Deng, Yuan Gao, Changchun Cai

In this paper, we consider a secrecy wireless powered communication network, where an information source (IS) transmits message to a legitimate information receiver (IR) with the energy it harvests from the energy source (ES) and a full-duplex (FD) active eavesdropper (AE) performs eavesdropping and jamming simultaneously with the energy it harvests from the ES. With a goal to maximize the achievable secrecy rate, we jointly optimize the energy beamforming and the artificial noise (AN) beamforming at the ES, the information beamforming at the IS and the energy transfer time at the ES. Numerical results are given to show the superiority of our proposed scheme.
