Joint transceiver design for secure communication with power transfer

Abstract

In the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system, the security becomes a major concern. This is because the energy harvesting (EH) operates with much higher received power than conventional information decoding (ID), which leads the environment vulnerable to eavesdropping. In this work, we propose a joint transceiver design to maximize physical-layer security while guaranteeing the required minimum of the harvested energy. The system under consideration consists of a transmitter (Tx), a receiver (Rx), a cooperative jammer (CJ) and a passive eavesdropper (Eve). The Rx is assumed to be energy-constrained in terms of the operation time or the limited power of a battery, where an EH Rx and an ID Rx are co-located. Based on an employment of the CJ, we jointly optimize the beam-forming vector for the CJ and the limited-resource allocation for the Rx to achieve the system objective. For the structure of the co-located EH and ID Rx, two schemes are investigated such as time switching (TS) and power splitting (PS) whose limited resources are the operation time and power, respectively. The algorithmic solutions are proposed for both TS and PS schemes based on rank-relaxation and Minorization-Maximization (MM) approach. Finally, the numerical results show that the secrecy rate in the SWIPT system can be improved by using the proposed algorithm while guaranteeing the requirement of the harvested energy.

Robust Design for MISO SWIPT System with Artificial Noise and Cooperative Jamming

Zheng Chu, Tuan Anh Le, Huan Xuan Nguyen +5 more

Considering simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), we study a multiple-input- single-output (MISO) secrecy channel which consists of a multi-antenna trans- mitter and a cooperative jammer (CJ), multiple multi-antenna energy receivers (ERs), i.e., potential eavesdroppers, and multiple single-antenna co-located receivers (CRs). Both transmitter and CJ send the intend signal with artificial noise (AN) and jamming signal to interfere with the ERs. All receivers (CRs and ERs) adopt a power splitter to decode information and harvest power simultaneously. We exploit AN and CJ to facilitate efficient wireless energy transfer and secure transmission. Our aim is to maximize the minimum harvested energy among all ERs and CRs subject to the total power constraints at the transmitter and CJ while guaranteeing the minimum secrecy rate for each CR above its requirement. By incorporating norm-bounded channel uncertainty model, we propose a joint design of robust secure transmission. The original problem is solved by a two- step approach. In the first step, the proposed problem is reformulated as a sequence of semidefinite programs (SDPs). In the second step, the proposed problem can be handled by one-dimensional search to attain the optimal solution. Simulation results indicate that the performance of the proposed scheme outperforms that of separated AN-aided or CJ-aided scheme.

Power Allocation for Secure SWIPT Systems With Wireless-Powered Cooperative Jamming

Mengyu Liu, Yuan Liu

This letter considers wireless-powered cooperative jamming to secure communication between a transmitter (Tx) and an information receiver, in the presence of an energy receiver (ER), which is termed a potential eavesdropper. The full-duplex jammer harvests energy from the Tx's information signal and transmits jamming signal at the same time, where the jamming signal not only confounds the ER (potential eavesdropper) but also charges the ER. Our goal is to maximize the secrecy information rate by jointly optimizing the power allocation at the Tx and jammer, while maintaining the harvested energy requirement of the ER. The studied problem is non-convex and we propose the optimal solution based on the Lagrange method. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the benchmark schemes.

Cooperative Jamming Aided Robust Secure Transmission for Wireless Information and Power Transfer in MISO Channels

Qi Zhang, Xiaobin Huang, Quanzhong Li +1 more

Considering simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), we investigate cooperative-jamming (CJ) aided robust secure transmission design in multiple-input-single-output channels, where a cooperative jammer introduces jamming interferences and assists a source to supply wireless power for both an energy receiver and a legitimate destination. The destination employs a power splitting (PS) scheme to split the received signals for both information decoding and energy harvesting (EH). Compared with conventional transmission without SWIPT, the transmission with SWIPT should satisfy additional worst-case EH constraints. Furthermore, the PS scheme introduces an additional multiplicative optimization variable, i.e., the PS factor. Our objective is to maximize worst-case secrecy rate under transmit power constraints and worst-case EH constraints. We propose to decouple the problem into three optimization problems and employ alternating optimization algorithm to obtain the locally optimal solution. For the optimization of transmit covariance matrices and PS factor, we propose to employ the S-procedure and its extension to reformulate it as a convex semidefinite programming. It is shown through the simulation results that our proposed CJ aided robust secure transmission scheme outperforms the robust direct transmission scheme without CJ and the CJ aided non-robust scheme.

Joint Robust Design for Secure AF Relay Networks With SWIPT

Hehao Niu, Bangning Zhang, Daoxing Guo +1 more

In this paper, we investigate the physical layer security for amplify-and-forward relay networks with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer. Specifically, by considering the dual-functional desired receiver, which is capable of decoding information and energy harvesting (EH), and assuming that only imperfect eavesdroppers' channel state information can be attained, we propose a joint robust cooperative beamforming, artificial noise, and power splitting scheme. We formulate the relay power minimization problem under both the secrecy rate constraint and the EH constraint, which is non-convex and hard to tackle. To tackle this problem, we propose a two-level optimization approach, which involves 1-D search and the semi-definite relaxation. In addition, we testify that the SDR can obtain the rank-one optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed robust scheme achieves better secrecy performance than other schemes.

By incorporating norm-bounded channel uncertainty model, we propose a iterative algorithm based on sequential parametric convex approximation to find a near-optimal solution. Finally, simulation results are presented to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm outperforms that of the conventional AN-aided scheme and CJaided scheme.

In an underlay cognitive simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) network, communication from secondary user (SU) to secondary destination (SD) is accomplished with decode-and-forward (DF) relays.Multiple energy-constrained relays are assumed to harvest energy from SU via power splitting (PS) protocol and complete SU secure information transmission with beamforming.Hence, physical layer security (PLS) is investigated in cognitive SWIPT network.In order to interfere with eavesdropper and improve relay's energy efficiency, a destination-assisted jamming scheme is proposed.Namely, SD transmits artificial noise (AN) to interfere with eavesdropping, while jamming signal can also provide harvested energy to relays.Beamforming vector and power splitting ratio are jointly optimized with the objective of SU secrecy capacity maximization.We solve this non-convex optimization problem via a general two-stage procedure.Firstly, we obtain the optimal beamforming vector through semi-definite relaxation (SDR) method with a fixed power splitting ratio.Secondly, the best power splitting ratio can be obtained by one-dimensional search.We provide simulation results to verify the proposed solution.Simulation results show that the scheme achieves the maximum SD secrecy rate with appropriate selection of power splitting ratio, and the proposed scheme guarantees security in cognitive SWIPT networks.
