Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of the imperfect channel state information that is caused by the channel estimation errors on physical layer security. The investigation considers a dual-hop single amplify-and-forward (AF) based untrustworthy half/full-duplex bi-directional relay with a finite number of friendly jammers in the system model. According to Monte-Carlo simulation results, the channel estimation error causes system coding gain losses at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes both for half and full-duplex cases. Results also show that the CEE effects turn out to be at negligible levels in high SNR regimes. Results also show that friendly jammer, besides improving the secrecy performance of the system model, also degrades the curves and causes system coding gain losses at high SNR regimes. Results also show that better secrecy performance can be achieved when the relay terminal operates in full-duplex mode.

Feedback Delay Effects on Physical Layer Security in a Dual-Hop Half/Full-Duplex Bi-Directional Wireless Relaying Networks

This paper investigates the feedback delay effects on physical layer security. The investigation considers a dual-hop single amplify-and-forward based untrustworthy half/full-duplex two-way relay with a finite number of friendly jammers in the system model. According to the Monte-Carlo simulation results, the feedback delay degrades the system secrecy achievable rate and causes system coding gain losses in high signal-to-noise regimes. Results also show that if the number of friendly jammers in the system model increases then system secrecy achievable rate tends to degrade and causes system coding gain losses. Results also show that better system secrecy achievable rate can be achieved when the relay terminal operates in full-duplex mode.

This paper investigates the physical layer security of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technique. The investigation considers a multi-user untrustworthy half/full-duplex based two-way wireless relay with a finite number of friendly jammers in the system model. According to Monte-Carlo simulation results, the system model that operates in full-duplex mode achieves slightly better secrecy outage performance than the system model that operates in half-duplex mode. The results also show that friendly jammers, besides minimizing the information leakage, degrade the system performance severely and cause system coding gain losses in high signal-to-noise ratios.

Achievable secrecy rate analysis of OFDM‐based multi‐user untrusted relay networks with imperfect CSI

Volkan Özduran, Νικόλαος Νομικός, Imran Shafique Ansari

Abstract This study investigates the impact of imperfect channel state information (CSI), caused by channel estimation errors and feedback delays, on the physical‐layer security performance of multi‐user relay networks. More specifically, a multi‐user untrusted half/full‐duplex (HD/FD) uni/bi‐directional wireless amplify‐and‐forward (AF) relay network is studied, adopting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). In order to minimize the information leakage, it is considered that a limited number of friendly jammers affect the untrusted relay. In this context, the achievable secrecy rate of the relay network is theoretically analyzed and optimization problems are formulated and solved for the untrusted relay's location and power allocation. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to validate the theoretical findings, revealing that channel estimation errors cause coding gain losses for low signal‐to noise ratio (SNR) while their impact becomes negligible for high SNR. Also, a large number of user‐pairs achieves higher secrecy rate while FD relaying further improves the secrecy performance. Finally, bi‐directional relaying provides higher achievable secrecy rate over uni‐directional relaying.

This paper investigates the physical layer security of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based wireless relaying network. The investigation considers a multi-user untrustworthy amplify-and-forward based one-way full-duplex wireless relaying network in the system model. According to the Monte-Carlo simulation results, the friendly jammers severely affect the system achievable secrecy outage probability performance and degrade the system performance curves in high signal-to-noise ratio regimes. Results also show that the system model that contains a large number of user-pairs achieves better secrecy performance in comparison to a small number of user-pairs.

Physical Layer Security of Full-Duplex Two-Way AF Relaying Networks with Optimal Relay Selection

Fang Liu, Jiaojiao Li, Shulan Li +1 more

In this paper, the physical layer security of full-duplex two-way multiple amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying network in the presence of an eavesdropper is analyzed. The closed-form expression of the approximate secrecy outage probability (SOP) based on the optimal relay selection scheme (ORS) in maximizing the secrecy capacity of proposed network is given out. Furthermore, Monte-Carlo simulation results validate the analytical expressions and show that secrecy performance can be impacted by different parameters, including the number of candidate relay and the average power of residual self-interference. The simulation results also show that the full-duplex relaying systems based on optimal relay selection scheme can significantly outperform the conventional single-relay systems and the traditional half-duplex scheme in secrecy performance.

Improving Physical Layer Security of AF Relay Networks via Beam-Forming and Jamming

Abdelhamid Salem, Khairi Ashour Hamdi

In this paper the cooperation of beam-forming and artificial noise (AN) in two-hop amplify-and- forward (AF) relaying system is proposed to enhance the security. we consider a half duplex AF relaying network with a multi-antenna source node and a destination in the presence of a passive eavesdropper.Since channel state information (CSI) of the eavesdropper is unknown, the AN transmitted by the source in the first phase and by the relays in the second phase is in all directions except the legitimate node one. As such two scenarios are considered here,: i) when all the relays amplify and forward the information source signal ii) when only the best relay is selected to amplify and forward the information source signal. The beam-former weights and the power allocation are obtained by solving an optimization problem. Results reveal that the proposed system can provide considerable improvements in terms of secrecy rate. It is also found that increasing the AN power, relative to the information signal power, will further improve the secrecy rate.
