On the Secrecy Rate Maximization with Uncoordinated Cooperative Jamming by Single-Antenna Helpers

Abstract

A practical uncoordinated cooperative jamming (UCJ) scheme is proposed in this paper to enhance the physical layer security of the single-input-single-output (SISO) wiretap channel. Differing from the existing works, all the helpers in this UCJ scheme are uncoordinated single-antenna uplink users, and each helper transmits a jamming signal independently to confound the eavesdropper. The intended receiver plays the role of base station in the cellular systems as well as a control center to properly allocate the jamming power of each helper to maximize the secrecy rate. Two cases are addressed in solving the secrecy rate maximization problem, namely, the global channel state information (CSI) case and the partial CSI case. The optimal solution is obtained in the global CSI case, and a near-optimal solution is obtained under the secrecy outage probability constraint in the partial CSI case. Numerical results show that the performance of the proposed scheme is comparable with the existing works.

Secrecy Rate Maximization With Uncoordinated Cooperative Jamming by Single-Antenna Helpers Under Secrecy Outage Probability Constraint

Pengcheng Mu, Xiaoyan Hu, Bo Wang +1 more

The issue of physical layer security for single-input-multiple-output (SIMO) wiretap channel with uncoordinated cooperative jamming (UCJ) is addressed in this letter, and we focus on power allocation in secrecy rate maximization (SRM) problem. Differing from the existing works, a practical UCJ scheme is proposed by using multiple single-antenna helpers where each helper transmits a jamming signal independently to confound the eavesdropper. Assuming that statistical channel state information (CSI) concerning the eavesdropper is available, a modified DC (difference of convex function) programming method is provided to solve the SRM problem under secrecy outage probability constraint and an achievable solution of power allocation is obtained. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has satisfactory secrecy performance especially when the number of helpers is large.

Secrecy rate maximization for SIMO wiretap channel with uncoordinated cooperative jamming under secrecy outage probability constraint

Xiaoyan Hu, Pengcheng Mu, Bo Wang +3 more

A practical uncoordinated cooperative jamming (UCJ) scheme with multiple single-antenna helpers is proposed in this paper to enhance the physical layer security of single-input-multiple-output (SIMO) wiretap channel. In the scheme, both the intended receiver and the eavesdropper are equipped with multiple antennas and apply the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) combiner. The multiple uncoordinated single-antenna helpers transmit jamming signals independently to confound the eavesdropper, and we focus on power allocation for the helpers to solve the secrecy rate maximization (SRM) problem. Assuming that the statistical channel state information (CSI) concerning the eavesdropper is available, a convex conservative secrecy outage probability (SOP) constraint is derived and then used to solve the SRM problem with DC (difference of convex function) programming method. Furthermore, a bisection-like refinement method is provided to find a quality solution of the SRM problem with the original SOP constraint. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has good secrecy performance especially when the number of helpers is large.

Secrecy rate maximization for SIMO wiretap channel with uncoordinated cooperative jamming by single-antenna helpers

Xiaoyan Hu, Pengcheng Mu, Zongmian Li +1 more

The issue of physical layer security for wireless communication with uncoordinated cooperative jamming (UCJ) is addressed in this paper, and we focus on the secrecy rate maximization (SRM) for single-input multiple-output (SIMO) wiretap channel with a multi-antenna intended receiver and a single-antenna eavesdropper. Differing from the existing schemes, we propose a new scheme for SRM by using multiple single-antenna helpers, where each helper transmits artificial noise independently to confound the eavesdropper. Our purpose is to design the jamming power of the helpers under individual or sum power constraints to maximize the secrecy rate with the assumption that global channel state information (CSI) is available. A robust iterative optimization method for power allocation is given to solve the SRM problem, and numerical results are finally provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed method in comparison with the existing works.

Minimization of Secrecy Outage Probability with Single-Antenna Uncoordinated Cooperative Jamming

Darui Hu, Pengcheng Mu, Weile Zhang +2 more

The problem of power allocation with uncoordinated cooperative jamming is addressed in this paper to enhance the physical layer security of the single-input-single-output wiretap channel with single-antenna jammers. Differing from the existing works concerning the secrecy rate maximization, this paper studies the problem of minimizing the secrecy outage probability with fixed secrecy rate, where the channel state information concerning the eavesdropper is only known statistically. This problem is formulated as an optimization problem of power allocation for the jamming signals. We prove that the optimization problem is convex in essence, and the optimal solution is thus conveniently obtained by using the methods of golden section search and bi-section search. Simulation results show that the proposed approach is very efficient and can significantly enhance the physical layer security by reducing the secrecy outage probability.

Uncoordinated Cooperative Jamming for Secret Communications

Shuangyu Luo, Jiangyuan Li, Athina P. Petropulu

We consider a Gaussian wiretap channel model with a single-antenna source, destination and eavesdropper. The communication is assisted by multiple multiantenna helpers that transmit noise to confound the eavesdropper. First, we consider a nulling scheme, in which each helper independently transmits noise, designed to maximize the system secrecy rate while creating no interference to the destination. In this scheme, each helper requires only local relay-destination channel state information (CSI). When global CSI is available at the relays, the nulling scheme is not optimal. The optimal jamming noise structure is also provided under global CSI. Interestingly, it is shown both analytically and via simulations that, despite its reduced CSI requirements, the nulling scheme may have secrecy rate performance that is very close to the optimal one. The probability of outage of the nulling scheme is provided in closed form based on the statistics of the eavesdropper CSI.

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.
