Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy outage probability (SOP) for the cooperative amplify-and-forward (AF) two-way relay networks (TWRN) with channel estimation (CE) errors under Rayleigh fading channels.In the proposed system, two sources simultaneously broadcast their respective information to all the relays firstly.Then, the optimal relay performs AF protocol on the received signals sent from the two sources and forward them to both sources.In both phases, An eavesdropper receives the signals from sources and relay nodes illegally.The performance of the proposed system is quantified by deriving the upper bound of the overall outage probability.Impact of CEs on the system is illustrated by simulations.

Cooperative jamming power control to enhance secrecy communications of AF Relaying systems for Rayleigh fading channel

Ki‐Hong Park, Mohamed‐Slim Alouini

In this paper, we investigate secrecy communications in two-hop wireless relaying networks which consist of one source, one amplify-and-forward (AF) relay, one legitimate destination, and one eavesdropper. To prevent the eavesdropper from intercepting the source message, we make the destination send the intended noise to the AF relay during the first phase. This is referred to as cooperative jamming. According to the channel information at the destination, we address two types of jamming power allocation; (i) rate-optimal power allocation and (ii) outage-optimal power allocation. More specifically, without the instantaneous channel knowledge for the eavesdropper side, the outage probability of the secrecy rate is minimized with respect to the intended noise power level. We show that the outage-optimal allocation gives almost the same outage probability as the rateoptimal one. In addition, the jamming power consumption can be significantly reduced compared to the fixed and rate-optimal power allocation methods.

High SNR performance of amplify-and-forward relaying in Rayleigh fading wiretap channels

Frédéric Gabry, Somayeh Salimi, Ragnar Thobaben +1 more

This paper investigates amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying for secrecy in quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. We consider a four-node network where a helping node intends to enhance secrecy of the transmission between the source and the destination in presence of a passive eavesdropper. In this scenario, the common assumption of full CSI on the eavesdropper's channels is not realistic, and thus, we study the performance of cooperation from an outage perspective. Starting from the secrecy outage probability, we introduce a novel measure, the conditional secrecy outage probability to analyze the performance of AF. In particular, we derive closed-form expressions for AF for these two secrecy measures under a high SNR assumption. Moreover, we use numerical examples to illustrate our results and to characterize the effect of the nodes' geometry. We also show numerically how AF improves the secrecy performance in comparison to direct transmission in terms of outage probability and secure throughput.

On the conditioning channel capacity of MIMO two-way relay networks against eavesdropper

Jia You, Zhangdui D. Zhong, Feifei Gao +1 more

In this paper, we consider the two-way relay network (TWRN) in the presence of an eavesdropper, and construct a noisy amplify-and-forward (AF) algorithm to enhance the physical (PHY) layer security capacity. All the source nodes, the relay and the eavesdropper are equipped with multiple antennas. In the proposed noisy AF scheme, the relay first receives signals from both source nodes, adds weighted artificial noise (AN), and then amplifies and forwards the modified signal to both source nodes. In this scenario, we analyze the effects of AN and the number of relay antennas on the secrecy sum rate for different conditioning channel matrices. It is shown that AN will result in an increased secrecy sum rate, and the channel condition is a key parameter of the system in deciding the sum secrecy rate. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the validity of proposed studies.

Secrecy outage probability with destination assisted jamming in presence of an untrusted relay

Sanjoy Roy, Sumit Kundu, Anurag Kumar +1 more

The study of secrecy capacity of wireless networks, considering variety of powerful attacks is currently of great interest. In this paper, we have considered a possible attack scenario where an eavesdropper is present as a legitimate relay node in disguise in the network. A novel scheme of simultaneous transmission of jamming signal and message signal is proposed to confuse the eavesdropper. Here we consider a source, a destination and two amplify and forward (AF) relays each employed with a single antenna. One of the two relays used in the network is un-trusted and eavesdrop the information signal sent by the source. We analyze secrecy outage probability (SOP) of our proposed scheme under several network parameters such as target secrecy rate, transmit power of source, jamming power by destination and mean powers of fading channel. We also develop a simulation test bed to evaluate secrecy outage probability.

Physical layer security in the presence of the eavesdroppers in cooperative networks

Nikookar-Hamedani Pegah, Ehsan Soleimani‐Nasab

In this paper, we investigate the performance of cooperative amplify-and-forward (AF) multi-relay networks with relay selection strategy over independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Nakagami-m fading channels. In this system we study multiuser cooperative relaying to have a secure transmission from source to destination, since transmitted information may be wiretapped by multiple eavesdroppers. The secrecy outage probability is derived in closed-form using signal-to-noise-ratio statistics, while a useful expression is presented for the asymptotically low outage regime. Our results explicitly demonstrate significant improvement of the secrecy outage probability in the multi-relay scenario.

Secure Cooperative Fixed Gain Untrusted Relay Networks with Destination Assisted Jamming under Nakagami-m Fading Channels

Anshul Pandey, Suneel Yadav

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance of a dual-hop cooperative untrusted relay network. In this network, a source node communicates with the destination node via an untrusted fixed-gain amplify-and-forward (AF) relay node. We use destination-assisted jamming so as to keep the source and destination nodes information confidential from the relay node. Under this scenario, we derive the exact secrecy outage probability (SOP) expression, tight approximate SOP expression, and asymptotic SOP expression in the high signal-to-noise ratio regime under Nakagami-m fading channels. The analysis studied in this paper can be applicable to any AF relaying systems for fixed relay gain, and two scenarios to calculate the fixed gain are compared in terms of SOP performance. Finally, the numerical and simulation studies corroborate our analytical findings.
