Abstract

In this paper, SNR based hybrid decode-amplify-forward (HDAF) is introduced for improving the physical layer security of wireless cooperative network and its performance is analyzed in flat Rayleigh fading channel environment with three relay and jammer selection schemes namely conventional selection (without jammer), optimal selection (with jammer) and control jamming. We consider a linear cooperative wireless network consisting of one source, one destination with multiple relays in presence of single eavesdropper. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out and the obtained results are compared for different relay, jammer and eavesdropper locations. A study of comparison is made in terms of secrecy capacity for the proposed hybrid decode-amplify-forward (HDAF) relaying with the AF and DF relaying schemes. Finally from the simulated comparison study, it is observed that HDAF scheme outperforms AF and DF schemes and we can also observe control jamming selection achieves more secrecy rate compared to without jamming and with optimal jamming.

Performance study of hybrid decode–amplify–forward (HDAF) relaying scheme for physical layer security in wireless cooperative network

Kiran Kumar Gurrala, Susmita Das

Summary In this paper, the secrecy performance and power allocation of the signal‐to‐noise ratio‐based hybrid decode–amplify–forward (HDAF) relaying protocol in wireless cooperative network are investigated to get security at physical layer. The performance metrics considered are secrecy rate and intercept probability. The Ergodic secrecy rate is approximated theoretically. The effect of relay and eavesdropper locations on the secrecy performance of the system is analyzed. It is found that maximum secrecy rate is obtained for the relay close‐to‐destination case and minimum for the relay close‐to‐eavesdropper case. Jamming schemes are superior in secrecy rate performance than without jamming schemes. To enhance the secrecy rate further with the optimized relay and jammer powers, invasive weed optimization (IWO) algorithm‐based power allocation is proposed. Here, maximizing the secrecy rate is defined as the cost function for the proposed IWO algorithm‐based power allocation. Comparative study is done over the conventional equal and proposed power allocation schemes for validation. The proposed power allocation scheme proved to be superior.

Performance analysis of cooperative schemes under total transmit power constraint in single hop wireless relaying system

Rupali Sinha, Poonam Jindal

In wireless communication, physical layer security is widely used for secure communication between the transmitter and the receiver. In this paper, the secrecy performance of two cooperative schemes, decode-and-forward (DF) and amplify-and-forward (AF) relays is investigated in a single hop wireless relaying system. The achievable secrecy rate is investigated with these two types of relays under the constraint of total power transmitted. In the given jamming relay network, the relay transmits jamming signal while receiving data signal from the source. It is indicated by the resulting analysis that the AF relays have better secrecy rate as compared to the DF relays in the given condition. The secrecy rate of the AF relay is higher than that of the DF relay by 71.88% at a distance of 70 m between the relay and the eavesdropper in this jamming relay network.

Improving physical layer security in two-way cooperative networks with multiple eavesdroppers

Doaa H. Ibrahim, Emad S. Hassan, Sami A. El‐Dolil

In this paper, three different relay and jammers selection schemes are presented to improve the physical layer security of two-way cooperative networks in the presence of multiple cooperating and non-cooperating eavesdroppers. The presented selection schemes are; optimal selection scheme without jamming, optimal selection scheme with conventional jamming, and optimal selection scheme with controlled jamming. The proposed schemes select three intermediate nodes during two communication phases. In the first phase, a friendly jammer is selected to create intentional interference at the eavesdroppers' nodes. In the second phase, two relay nodes are selected; one node is selected to operate as a conventional relay and assists the sources to deliver their data to the corresponding destinations via a Decode-and-Forward (DF) strategy. While the other node behaves as a jammer node in order to confuse the eavesdroppers in this phase. The proposed schemes are analyzed in terms of ergodic secrecy rate and secrecy outage probability. The obtained results show that the jamming schemes outperform the non-jamming schemes in the eavesdroppers' environment. Moreover, cooperating eavesdroppers' further degrade system's secrecy performance than the non-cooperating ones. Finally, a comparison between relay and jammers selection schemes in both one-way and two-way cooperative networks is given in terms of both ergodic secrecy rate and secrecy outage probability metrics.

Joint Decode-and-Forward and Cooperative Jamming for Secure Wireless Communications

Shuanglin Huang, Jiaolong Wei, Yang Cao +1 more

In a cooperative wireless network, we exploited node cooperation for achieving physical layer based security. In this paper, the case of one source-destination pair with the help of multiple cooperating nodes(relay nodes and jamming nodes) in the presence of one eavesdropper was considered to improve the performance of secure wireless communications. A novel cooperative scheme joint decode-and-forward and cooperative jamming(JDFCJ) was proposed. In this scheme, the relay nodes transmit a weighted version of the source signals and the jamming nodes just transmit a common weighted jamming signal to confound the eavesdropper. The novel system design is proposed to minimize the transmit power subject to a secrecy rate constraint. For JDFCJ, the optimal power allocation is obtained in closed-form in the condition of the complete nulling of jamming signals at the destination. The numerical evaluation of the transmit power results shows that the proposed scheme can significantly improve the performance of secure wireless communications, as compared to the DF scheme.

Enhancing Physical Layer Security Through Cooperation in Wireless Networks

Jovana Božović, Enis Kočan

Physical Layer Security (PLS) provides a promising complementary approach to cryptographic methods for protecting wireless communications from eavesdropping. This paper investigates secrecy enhancement through cooperative relaying and jamming in a wireless network with two legitimate users, one eavesdropper, and five potential relay nodes operating in amplify-and-forward mode. Three relay–jammer selection strategies are considered: random relay and jammer selection, best-SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) relay with random jammer selection, and best-SNR relay with a jammer chosen based on the strongest channel toward the eavesdropper. The secrecy performance of these strategies are evaluated in terms of secrecy rate and secrecy outage probability. The results demonstrate that intelligent relay and jammer selection can significantly improve PLS compared to random selection, highlighting the benefits of cooperation in secure wireless systems.
