Abstract

With good design for radio self-interference isolation and cancellation, full-duplex radio promises to be feasible for real world applications. One of the important applications is secure communication since such a radio can receive information from a desired source while it also transmits jamming noise to eavesdroppers at the same time and same frequency. This paper considers a three-node multicarrier network consisting of a source, a full-duplex destination and an eavesdropper where the source and destination both apply power distributions to maximize the secrecy capacity against the eavesdropper. Fast algorithms feasible for real-time applications are developed to achieve the maximum secrecy capacity subject to both power constraint and source-to-destination rate constraint.

Fast Power Allocation for Secure Communication With Full-Duplex Radio

Lei Chen, Qiping Zhu, Weixiao Meng +1 more

This paper considers a method for improving physical layer security of wireless networks with full-duplex radio. In particular, fast algorithms are developed to compute power allocations in subcarriers, subject to power and rate constraints, to maximize the secrecy capacity of a three-node network consisting of a source, a full-duplex destination, and an eavesdropper. A residual level of radio self-interference channel is considered. The optimal power allocation at the destination is found to be significant especially when its power budget is high. Also studied in this paper are a network with multiple full-duplex destinations and another network with multiple sources. Using the algorithms developed in this paper, we are able to show that a multiuser strategy that optimizes the power distributions among the users (in terms of either the sources or the destinations) can yield a substantial gain of secrecy capacity over a single-user strategy.

Secure Transmission in Multicarrier Power-Splitting Wireless Powered Communication Networks with Full-duplex Receivers

Qun Li, Ding Xu

We consider a three-node multicarrier network consisting of a source node, a wireless powered full-duplex destination node, and an eavesdropper. The destination node is assumed to adopt the power splitting technique to coordinate information decoding and energy harvesting. To improve security performance, the destination node can send jamming signals using the harvested energy. The problem for maximizing the secrecy rate by optimizing transmit power allocation at the source node, the transmit power allocation for jamming at the destination node and the power splitting ratio at the destination node is investigated and solved by a proposed iterative algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other reference algorithms.

In this paper, we investigate physical layer security, where a source node communicates with a wireless powered full-duplex destination node using multiple subcarriers in the presence of an eavesdropper. The destination node adopts the time switching technique to coordinate information decoding and energy harvesting, and can use the harvested energy to send jamming signals to interfere with the eavesdropper. We investigate the problem of optimizing transmit power allocation at the source node, the transmit power allocation for jamming at the destination node and the time allocation for maximizing the secrecy rate, and propose an iterative algorithm to solve the optimization problem. It is shown by simulation results that the proposed algorithm greatly outperforms other reference algorithms.

Secure Communication with a Wireless Powered Full-Duplex Eavesdropper

Qun Li, Ding Xu

This paper investigates physical layer secure communication of a three node multicarrier network with a legitimate transmitter, a legitimate receiver, and a wireless powered full-duplex eavesdropper, where the eavesdropper splits the received signal power into two parts, one for energy harvesting and the remaining for information decoding. The eavesdropper sends jamming signals to interfere with the legitimate communication using the harvested energy to degrade the secure communication of the legitimate user. We use the non-cooperative game to model the interaction between the legitimate user and the eavesdropper, where the aim of the legitimate user is to maximize its sum secrecy rate on all subcarriers under the total transmit power constraint and the aim of the eavesdropper is to minimize the sum secrecy rate of the legitimate communication on all subcarriers under the energy causality constraint. We propose an iterative algorithm to achieve the Nash equilibrium of the non-cooperative game. Simulation results verify the proposed algorithm and show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the benchmark algorithms and is resistant to the jamming from the eavesdropper.

Physical Layer Security with Full-Duplex Radio in Wireless Networks

Qiping Zhu

Physical layer security (PLS) is an approach that provides secrecy based on information-theoretic model which does not account for any computation capability assumption or pre-installed standardized secret key generation algorithm and it is a good additional protection on the top of the existing security scheme. This work includes four different topics which are about improving PLS with full-duplex radio. In the first topic, we develop a fast algorithms for computing power allocations in subcarriers, subject to power and rate constraints, to maximize the secrecy capacity of a three-node network consisting of a source, a full-duplex capable destination and an eavesdropper. The optimal power allocation at the destination is found to be significant especially when its power budget is high. The second topic is about the analysis of a two-phase scheme for secret information transmission with the technique of anti-eavesdropping channel estimation (ANECE), which requires full duplex transceiver and it can better handle Eve with any number of antennas. The analysis is based on the assumption that everyone has a prior statistical knowledge of the channel state information (CSI) anywhere and it yields lower and upper bounds on secure degrees of freedom as functions of the number of antennas on Eve and the size of information packet. For the third topic, we present optimal designs of the pilots for ANECE based on two criteria. The first is to optimize the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) channel estimation for the users, and the second is to maximize the mutual information between the pilot-driven signals observed by the users. Closed-form optimal pilots are shown under both criteria but subject to a symmetric and isotropic condition. Algorithms for computing the optimal pilots are shown for general cases. In the fourth topic, we analyze the secure degree of freedom and the asymptotic expression of the achievable secret key rate from a two-phase key generation scheme which consists of channel training phase and secure information transmission phase. Based on the asymptotic form, we develop an effective algorithm for coherence time allocation between the two phases to maximize the achievable secret key rate.

Improving Physical Layer Secrecy Using Full-Duplex Jamming Receivers

Gan Zheng, Ioannis Krikidis, Jiangyuan Li +2 more

This paper studies secrecy rate optimization in a wireless network with a single-antenna source, a multi-antenna destination and a multi-antenna eavesdropper. This is an unfavorable scenario for secrecy performance as the system is interference-limited. In the literature, assuming that the receiver operates in half duplex (HD) mode, the aforementioned problem has been addressed via use of cooperating nodes who act as jammers to confound the eavesdropper. This paper investigates an alternative solution, which assumes the availability of a full duplex (FD) receiver. In particular, while receiving data, the receiver transmits jamming noise to degrade the eavesdropper channel. The proposed self-protection scheme eliminates the need for external helpers and provides system robustness. For the case in which global channel state information is available, we aim to design the optimal jamming covariance matrix that maximizes the secrecy rate and mitigates loop interference associated with the FD operation. We consider both fixed and optimal linear receiver design at the destination, and show that the optimal jamming covariance matrix is rank-1, and can be found via an efficient 1-D search. For the case in which only statistical information on the eavesdropper channel is available, the optimal power allocation is studied in terms of ergodic and outage secrecy rates. Simulation results verify the analysis and demonstrate substantial performance gain over conventional HD operation at the destination.
