Abstract

The transfer of energy via radio frequency (RF) is the new solution for prolonging the lifetime of wireless networks. This paper investigates the secrecy performance of RF energy harvesting system that consists of one power transfer station, multiple power-constrained information sources and one destination in the presence of one eavesdropper over Rayleigh fading channels. To do so, the exact closed-form expressions of existence probability of secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability are derived by using statistical characteristics of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The numerical results show a quite agreement between numerical analysis and equivalent Monte-Carlo simulations.

Physical Layer Secrecy Performance of RF-EH Networks with Multiple Eavesdroppers

In this study, we investigate the physical layer secrecy performance of RF energy harvesting (EH) networks over Rayleigh fading channels. The RF-EH system considered here consists of one power transfer station, one source, one destination, and multiple passive eavesdroppers. The source harvests energy from the power transfer station and transmits the information to the destination by using a time switching-based relaying protocol. The eavesdroppers try to extract the transmitted information without an active attack. By using the statistical characteristics of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the exact closed-form expressions of the existence probability of the secrecy capacity and the secrecy outage probability are derived. Further, we analyze the secrecy performance of the system with respect to various system parameters, such as the location of the system elements and the number of eavesdroppers. Finally, the equivalent Monte Carlo simulation results are provided to confirm the correctness of our calculations.

Secrecy Performance Analysis for SIMO Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer Systems

Gaofeng Pan, Chaoqing Tang, Tingting Li +1 more

In this paper, a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) simultaneous wireless information and power transfer system consisting of one base station, one desired information receiver and N (N > 1) energy-harvesting receivers is considered. Each link in the considered system suffers not only from small-scale fading but also path-loss. In particular, we focus on the physical layer security performance including secrecy outage and secrecy capacity in the presence of eavesdroppers. We derive the closed-form analytical expression for the exact and the asymptotic secrecy outage probability while considering each eavesdropping link experiences independent but not necessarily identical Rayleigh fading. The closed-form analytical expression for the average secrecy capacity has also been derived for the case that all eavesdropping links experience independent and identical Rayleigh fading. Numerical and Monte Carlo simulation results are presented to verify our derived analytical models.

Secrecy Outage Performance Analysis for Energy Harvesting Sensor Networks With a Jammer Using Relay Selection Strategy

Van Nhan Vo, Tri Gia Nguyen, Chakchai So–In +2 more

In this paper, we study radio frequency energy harvesting (EH) in a wireless sensor network in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers (EAVs). Specifically, the sensor source and multiple sensor relays harvest energy from multiple power transfer stations (PTSs), and then, the source uses this harvested energy to transmit information to the base station (BS) with the help of the relays. During the transmission of information, the BS typically faces a risk of losing information due to the EAVs. Thus, to enhance the secrecy of the considered system, one of the relays acts as a jammer, using harvested energy to generate interference with the EAVs. We propose a best-relay-and-best-jammer scheme for this purpose and compare this scheme with other previous schemes. The exact closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability (SOP) is obtained and is validated through Monte Carlo simulations. A near-optimal EH time algorithm is also proposed. In addition, the effects on the SOP of key system parameters such as the EH efficiency coefficient, the EH time, the distance between the relay and BS, the number of PTSs, the number of relays, and the number of EAVs are investigated. The results indicate that the proposed scheme generally outperforms both the best-relay-and-random-jammer scheme and the random-relay-and-best-jammer scheme in terms of the secrecy capacity.
