On the Jamming Power Allocation for Secure Amplify-and-Forward Relaying via Cooperative Jamming

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate secure communications in two-hop wireless relaying networks with one eavesdropper. To prevent the eavesdropper from intercepting the source message, the destination sends an intended jamming noise to the relay, which is referred to as cooperative jamming. This jamming noise helps protecting the source message from being captured reliably at the eavesdropper, while the destination cancels its self-intended noise. According to the channel information available at the destination, we derive three jamming power allocation strategies to minimize the outage probability of the secrecy rate. In addition, we derive analytic results quantifying the jamming power consumption of the proposed allocation methods.

Cooperative jamming power control to enhance secrecy communications of AF Relaying systems for Rayleigh fading channel

Ki‐Hong Park, Mohamed‐Slim Alouini

In this paper, we investigate secrecy communications in two-hop wireless relaying networks which consist of one source, one amplify-and-forward (AF) relay, one legitimate destination, and one eavesdropper. To prevent the eavesdropper from intercepting the source message, we make the destination send the intended noise to the AF relay during the first phase. This is referred to as cooperative jamming. According to the channel information at the destination, we address two types of jamming power allocation; (i) rate-optimal power allocation and (ii) outage-optimal power allocation. More specifically, without the instantaneous channel knowledge for the eavesdropper side, the outage probability of the secrecy rate is minimized with respect to the intended noise power level. We show that the outage-optimal allocation gives almost the same outage probability as the rateoptimal one. In addition, the jamming power consumption can be significantly reduced compared to the fixed and rate-optimal power allocation methods.

Power Allocation for Cooperative Jamming in Amplify-and-Forward Relaying Network with Eavesdropper

Yongyun Choi, Jae Hong Lee

In this paper, we propose an optimal source power allocation scheme for a two-hop amplify-and-forward relaying network with cooperative jamming where a source and destination transmit jamming signals. For the full CSI of all link and the CSI for desired link, the source power is optimally splitted to minimize the secrecy outage probability. Simulation results show that the proposed power allocation scheme improves the secrecy rate and reliability.

Amplify‐and‐forward‐based cooperative jamming strategy with power allocation for secure communication

An Li, Yizhu Xu, Yuhao Wang +1 more

Summary This paper deals with the use of jamming transmission for secure amplify‐and‐forward‐based relay networks with total power constraints. An approach that the source and the relay use some of their available power to transmit jamming signals in order to create interference at the eavesdropper is investigated. Assume that the relay and destination have an a priori knowledge of the jamming signals. A power allocation policy that defines how the available power is distributed between the message signal and that of the jamming signal is presented. The results show that the proposed approach can increase the secrecy level and that a positive secrecy rate can be achieved even when the eavesdropper may be near the source.

Cooperative Jamming and Power Allocation for Wireless Relay Networks in Presence of Eavesdropper

Lun Dong, Homayoun Yousefi’zadeh, Hamid Jafarkhani

Relying on physical layer security is an attractive alternative of utilizing cryptographic algorithms at upper layers of protocol stack for secure communications. In this paper, we consider a two-hop wireless relay network in the presence of an eavesdropper. Our scenario of interest spans over a four-node network model including a source, a destination, a trusted relay, and an untrusted eavesdropper in which the relay forwards the source message in a decode-and-forward (DF) fashion. The source and relay are allowed to use some of their available power to transmit jamming signals in order to create interference at the eavesdropper. The relay and destination are assumed to have the knowledge of the jamming signals. An important question is how to allocate the transmission power of the message signal and that of the jamming signal. First, we propose an optimal power allocation solution in which the knowledge of global channel state information (CSI) is required. To facilitate practical system design, two simple yet sub-optimal power allocation solutions are proposed which do not rely on eavesdropper's channels. For the purpose of performance comparisons, power allocation problems for two benchmark schemes without jamming are also analyzed.

Secure two-user AF relaying networks using cooperative jamming

Walid Mallat, Wided Hadj Alouane, Hatem Boujemâa +1 more

In this paper, we investigate secure two-user AF relaying networks based on a destination assisted cooperative jamming (DACJ). We consider two sources, one destination, one eavesdropper and multiple amplify-and-forwards (AF) relays. In the first time slot, each source broadcasts the information signal to the relays. In order to protect the source message from being eavesdropped, the destination simultaneously transmits a jamming signal to each relay. The selected relay amplifies and forwards the combined signal to the destination and eavesdropper. We introduce reactive relay selection and power allocation to decrease the power consumption. Closed-form expressions for lower bound of ergodic secrecy capacity (ESC) are provided. Numerical results are presented to verify the exactness of the proposed mathematical analysis.
