Friendly cooperation jamming for secrecy in LOS channel

Abstract

A multiple nodes wireless communication network in LOS channel is considered, consisting of a sender (Alice), a receiver (Bob), several friendly helpers, and a passive eavesdropper (Eve), each equipped with an omnidirectional antenna. The helpers work cooperatively to jam Eve. But sender and helpers have no idea of the position of Eve, so the goal of the system is to jam equally to every direction except for the legitimate receiver. A random jamming pair scheme is proposed, in which each helper pair sends noise nulling at Bob, and the closed form direction pattern is derived. The outage performance of the scheme is introduced to measure the performance of the system in this paper, and we compare it with the conventional cooperative jamming scheme. The simulation results show that the random jamming pair scheme has a better outage performance than the fixed cooperative jamming scheme.

Physical layer security with uncoordinated helpers implementing cooperative jamming

Shuangyu Luo, Jiangyuan Li, Athina P. Petropulu

1A wireless communication network is considered, consisting of a source, a destination and an eavesdropper, each equipped with a single antenna. The communication is assisted by multiple multi-antenna helpers, which independently transmit jamming noise to confound the eavesdropper. The optimal structure of the jamming noise that maximizes the secrecy rate is derived. A suboptimal solution that results in nulling at the legitimate receiver is also considered. Unlike the optimal solution, which requires global channel information, the suboptimal solution requires local channel information only, i.e., each helper needs to know only its own channel to the destination. Although the nulling solution results in lower secrecy rate as compared to the optimal solution, simulations show that the difference is rather small, with the inexpensive and easy to implement nulling scheme performing near optimal.

Cooperative-Jamming-Aided Secrecy Enhancement in Wireless Networks With Passive Eavesdroppers

Lin Hu, Hong Wen, Bin Wu +3 more

This paper investigates cooperative security in wireless networks, where a source (Alice) intends to transmit a confidential message to a legitimate destination (Bob), with the help of a cooperative jammer (Charlie), coexisting with multiple passive eavesdroppers (Eves). In particular, by assuming knowledge of Bob's perfect channel state information (CSI) but only Eves’ statistical CSIs, secrecy beamforming with artificial noise (AN) is utilized for secure transmission, and cooperative jamming (CJ) is explored to further enhance secrecy. We first derive an accurate closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability (SOP), and establish the condition under which positive secrecy rate is achievable. Then, we provide a secure transmit design for maximizing the SOP constrained secrecy rate. Moreover, based on a strict mathematical analysis, we characterize the impact of the main channel quality and the number of Eves on transmit design and secrecy performance. Specifically, optimal power allocation ratio between the information-bearing signal and the AN signal increases as the main channel quality improves, and decreases with the number of Eves. Numerical results confirm that our design achieves performance improvement in terms of both secrecy rate and secure energy efficiency, as compared to the approach without CJ.

Secure Transmission with a Cooperative UAV-enabled Jammer

Yang Chen, Zhongpei Zhang, Binrui Li

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance of cooperative wireless communication networks, where a source (Alice) intends to transmit information to a legitimate user (Bob) with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) enabled friendly jammer in the presence of a passive eavesdropper (Eve). In order to maximize the secrecy rate of the system under a certain secrecy outage probability, we design a scheme utilizing artificial-noise (AN) beamforming and cooperative jamming to determine the optimal power allocation factor with only location and statistical channel state information of the Eve. Numerical results validate that the proposed scheme can significantly improve the secrecy rate and secure energy efficiency (EE) performance.

Cooperative Jamming Aided Secrecy Enhancement in Wireless Networks with Multiple Eavesdroppers

In this paper, we investigate cooperative security in wireless networks, where a source (Alice) intends to transmit a confidential message to a legitimate destination (Bob), with the help of a cooperative node (Charlie), in the presence of multiple independent eavesdroppers (Eves). In particular, cooperative jamming (CJ) is explored to enhance secure communication between Alice and Bob. We provide a transmit design to maximize the secrecy rate, subject to a secrecy outage probability (SOP) constraint. Specifically, we establish a condition under which positive secrecy rate can be guaranteed. In addition to secrecy rate performance, we also pay attention to the secure energy efficiency, defined as the ratio of secrecy rate to total power consumption. Numerical results validate the effectiveness and energy efficiency of our proposed CJ scheme.

An approach for secure wireless communication using friendly noise

Parag Aggarwal, Aditya Trivedi

As the need of highly secure data transmission in wireless communication has increased rapidly, physical layer security gains a lots of attention recently. The transmission of confidential data between two legitimate users in the existence of the passive eavesdropper with quasi-static Rayleigh channel is considered. A new technique is proposed in which a friendly noise is incorporated with confidential data bearing signal such that it preserves the integrity of the signal and does not degrade the legitimate link. This friendly noise acts as jamming signal for eavesdropper. The analytical expression for secrecy outage probability of the proposed technique for both single and multiple antennas eavesdropper is derived. The secrecy performance of proposed technique is compared with the traditional direct transmission and the cooperative jamming schemes. The asymptotic nature of the outage probability is also studied for the different parameters. Numerical results are also presented to verify the analytical expressions of proposed model, which show that the proposed technique is better than the traditional direct transmission and the cooperative jamming schemes.
