Abstract

In this work, a two-phase optimal-relay transmission scheme for relay networks against eavesdropper is proposed. The security and the reliability performance of this scheme are evaluated in the form of the intercept probability and the outage probability, respectively. In addition, the closed-form expression of security-reliability tradeoff (SRT) is obtained to show the compromise of the security and reliability performance of the system. Specifically, instead of common assumptions of perfect global channel state information in most literature, the channel estimation error and its effects on performance analysis are considered in this paper. It is shown that the security (or reliability) can be enhanced by degrading the reliability (or security) requirement, and the performance can be improved by increasing the number of relays. Finally, simulation results are provided to corroborate our proposed studies.

Security-Reliability Analysis for Cloud Radio Networks with Channel Estimation Error

Jia You, Zhangdui D. Zhong, Gongpu Wang

In this paper, we introduce a three-phase transmission scheme for cloud radio networks against eavesdropper. We study the security and reliability performance of this scheme in the form of intercept probability and outage probability, respectively. Channel estimation error is considered in our study instead of assumption of perfect channel state information. It is found that the security-reliability performance improves as the number of relay increases. Moreover, the length of training symbol considerably influences the performance. Simulation results are provided to corroborate our studies.

Relay selection for enhancing wireless security-reliability tradeoff in the presence of channel estimation errors

Xiaojin Ding, Tiecheng Song, Yulong Zou +1 more

In this paper, we investigate the physical-layer security for a wireless two-hop relay network in the presence of channel estimation errors when estimating the channel state information (CSI) of the main links (from the source via relays to the destination) and wiretap links (from the source and relays to the eavesdropper). The eavesdropper can not only overhear the confidential signals transmitted by the relays, but also tap the secret messages transmitted by the source. We present an channel estimation error oriented relay selection (CEEoRS) scheme to improve the security-reliability tradeoff (SRT). We also analyze the intercept probability and outage probability of the CEEoRS scheme, where the intercept probability and outage probability can quantify the security and reliability, respectively. For comparison purposes, the traditional direct transmission with channel estimation errors (TDTwCEE) is also analyzed. It is shown that the proposed CEEoRS scheme outperforms the TDTwCEE scheme in terms of its SRT. More specifically, the proposed CEEoRS scheme is capable of significantly improving the SRT performance of wireless communications through increasing the number of relays.

Security-reliability tradeoff for secure wireless communications with channel estimation error

Gongpu Wang, Yulong Zou, Feifei Gao +1 more

In this paper, we identify and analyze the tradeoff between security and reliability for wireless communications in the presence of eavesdropping attack. Typically, we assume that both destination and the eavesdropper can only obtain channel state information with estimation errors, instead of perfect channel estimation predominantly assumed in the literature. Linear minimum mean-square error estimation (LMMSE) is performed and the expressions for data throughput of the main link and the wiretap link are derived considering estimation errors. Next the probability that an outage event occurs over the main link, named outage probability, is given to represent the reliability. Meanwhile, the probability that an eavesdropper succeeds in intercepting the source signal, called intercept probability, is found to measure the security. Based on these, the security-reliability tradeoff performance is analyzed and it is shown that the transmission security (reliability) can be improved by loosening the reliability (security) requirement. Simulations are then provided to corroborate the proposed studies.

Security-reliability tradeoff for cooperative multi-relay and jammer selection in Nakagami-m fading channels

Yijun Yang, Jin Chen, Yuzhen Huang +1 more

In this paper, we analyze the security-reliability tradeoff (SRT) performance of the multi-relay cooperative networks over Nakagami-m fading channels. By considering the reliability of the first phase from the source to relay, a cooperative jamming (CJ) assisted secure transmission scheme is investigated to improve the security performance of the considered system. Specifically, we derive the approximate closed-form expression of the outage probability (OP) and exact closed-form expression of the intercepted probability (IP) for the CJ scheme to evaluate the SRT performance of the system. Finally, the simulation results verify the validity of our theoretical derivations and the advantage of the CJ scheme compared to the traditional scheme with no cooperative jammer.

Analysis and Enhancement of Joint Security and Reliability in Cooperative Networks

Sajad Poursajadi, Mohammad Hossein Madani

In this study, we deal with a cooperative wireless communications system of security constraints in which there is no knowledge about channel state information (CSI) of the eavesdropper. In order to improve the tradeoff between security and reliability, we opportunistically employ relays via an incremental and selective cooperation with respect to the CSI of the main link. In this cooperation, named as opportunistic cooperative transmission (OCT), the first priority is communication through the direct link as far as possible. However, a relay that has the best link to the main destination is employed for retransmitting the source information when the direct link is so weak which cannot provide a specific quality. In fact, since improving the reliability of the favorable communications by use of the relays increases the risk of successful interception by the eavesdropper at the same time, the OCT scheme tries to avoid excess of rebroadcasting the secret information by the relays whenever the direct link is strong enough; otherwise it employs an opportunistically selected relayed link. Hence, it can improve the security for a specific level of reliability and vice versa. We derive closed-form expressions for the security-reliability tradeoff (SRT) and secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the OCT scheme. Moreover, we provide asymptotic analyses which are illustrative on the security behavior of the proposed scheme. Finally, simulation results are presented which confirm validity of the analysis and reveal the desired performance of OCT in terms of both SRT and SOP.

Security-reliability tradeoff analysis for jamming aided decode-and-forward relay networks

Zou Ronggui, Zou Yulong, Jia Zhu +1 more

In this paper, we explore a cooperative decode-and-forward (DF) relay network comprised of a source, a relay, and a destination in the presence of an eavesdropper. To improve physical-layer security of the relay system, we propose a jamming aided decode-and-forward relay (JDFR) scheme combining the use of artificial noise and DF relaying which requires two stages to transmit a packet. Specifically, in stage one, the source sends confidential message to the relay while the destination acts as a friendly jammer and transmits artificial noise to confound the eavesdropper. In stage two, the relay forwards its re-encoded message to the destination while the source emits artificial noise to confuse the eavesdropper. In addition, we analyze the security-reliability tradeoff (SRT) performance of the proposed JDFR scheme, where security and reliability are evaluated by deriving intercept probability (IP) and outage probability (OP), respectively. For the purpose of comparison, SRT of the traditional decode-and-forward relay (TDFR) scheme is also analyzed. Numerical results show that the SRT performance of the proposed JDFR scheme is better than that of the TDFR scheme. Also, it is shown that for the JDFR scheme, a better SRT performance can be obtained by the optimal power allocation (OPA) between the friendly jammer and user.
