Secure communications with untrusted relays: a multi‐pair two‐way relaying approach

Tantan Zhao, Guobing Li, Gangming Lv +1 more

Physical‐layer security is usually ensured by the injection of artificial noise (AN) at the legitimate source or destination when relays are cooperative but untrusted. In this work, in order to avoid the power‐consuming AN at the legitimate user pairs, the authors investigate multi‐pair two‐way relaying as a solution for secure transmission in wireless relay networks with untrusted relays. They formulate a generalised problem for the joint design of cooperative beamforming (CB) and AN at relays to maximise the secrecy sum‐rate in wireless networks with multi‐pair legal users, multiple untrusted relays as well as multiple non‐colluding eavesdroppers. Further, they reformulate, approximate and relax the original non‐convex problem into a sequence of convex sub‐problems based on semi‐definite relaxation (SDR) and Taylor series approximation. Particularly, for the reformulated problem they prove that the SDR is in fact tight, and hence propose an iterative algorithm for CB and AN design at the relays. In the simulations, they demonstrate the fast convergence and high achievable secrecy sum‐rate of the proposed algorithm. Also, they simulate and discuss the impact of the number of user pairs on the secrecy sum‐rate, and reveal the change of performance gain with the number of multiple user pairs.

Joint cooperative beamforming and artificial noise design for secure AF relay networks with energy-harvesting eavesdroppers

Hehao Niu, Bangning Zhang, Daoxing Guo +2 more

In this paper, we investigate physical layer security for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in amplify-and-forward relay networks. We propose a joint robust cooperative beamforming and artificial noise scheme for secure communication and efficient wireless energy transfer. Specifically, by treating the energy receiver as a potential eavesdropper and assuming that only imperfect channel state information can be obtained, we formulate an optimization problem to maximize the worst-case secrecy rate between the source and the legitimate information receiver under both the power constraint at the relays and the wireless power harvest constraint at the energy receiver. Since such a problem is non-convex and hard to tackle, we propose a two-level optimization approach which involves a one-dimensional search and semidefinite relaxation. Simulation results show that the proposed robust scheme achieves better worst-case secrecy rate performance than other schemes.

Robust Cooperative Relay Beamforming Design for Security

Xiangwu Gong, Feihong Dong, Hongjun Li +1 more

In this paper, we investigate a security transmission scheme at the physical layer for cooperative wireless relay networks in the presence of a passive eavesdropper.While the security scheme has been previously investigated with perfect channel state information(CSI) in the presence of a passive eavesdropper, this paper focuses on researching the robust cooperative relay beamforming mechanism for wireless relay networks which makes use of artificial noise (AN) to confuse the eavesdropper and increase its uncertainty about the source message.The transmit power used for AN is maximized to degrade the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) level at the eavesdropper, while satisfying the individual power constraint of each relay node and worst-case SINR constraint at the desired receiver under a bounded spherical region for the norm of the CSI error vector from the relays to the destination.Cooperative beamforming weight vector in the security scheme can be obtained by using S-Procedure and rank relaxation techniques.The benefit of the proposed scheme is showed in simulation results.
