Abstract

The simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technique is regarded as a promising approach to enhance performance of wireless networks with limited energy supply. However, due to the broadcast nature of wireless radio, the energy receiver may act as a potential eavesdropper to eavesdrop the information sent to the information receiver. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose an optimization framework of the target secrecy rate and the power allocation ratio based on the secrecy outage probability and the effective secrecy throughput in the SWIPT system over fading wiretap channel. Moreover, we derive the closed-form expression of the secrecy outage probability and the effective secrecy throughput for two secrecy transmission modes. Furthermore, we formulate the effective secrecy throughput maximization problem under the reliability constraint in the on-off and adaptive transmission modes and provide the closed-form optimal solutions of the power allocation ratio and the target secrecy rate. Finally, we provide numerical results that give an insight into the effect of various system parameters on the secrecy outage probability and the effective secrecy throughput, such as the target secrecy rate, the power allocation ratio, and average gains of the main channel and the eavesdropper channel.

Optimal secrecy throughput and efficient energy harvesting for SWIPT system

Yatai Liu, Lixin Li, Huisheng Zhang +2 more

In recent years, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has attracted people's research interest, but many researchers only consider one of the secrecy throughput and harvested energy. In this paper, we optimize the secrecy throughput and improve the utilization of the harvested energy in a certain way with a based beamforming artificial noise aided SWIPT system over a Rayleigh fading channel. We investigate the relationship between the secrecy outage probability and the target secrecy rate and the power allocation ratio through formula derivation and simulation results. Then we propose an algorithm of joint power allocation and splitting to achieve the maximum secrecy throughput. Furthermore, we investigate the maximum secrecy throughput in the beamforming mode and that in broadcast mode. The simulation results show that the use of beamforming technique can greatly improve the performance of the secrecy throughput and the harvested energy.

Secrecy Wireless Information and Power Transfer in Fading Wiretap Channel

Hong Xing, Liang Liu, Rui Zhang

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has recently drawn significant interest for its dual use of radio signals to provide wireless data and energy access at the same time. However, a challenging secrecy communication issue arises as the messages sent to the information receivers (IRs) may be eavesdropped upon by energy receivers (ERs), which are presumed to harvest energy only from received signals. To tackle this problem, we propose in this paper an artificial-noise (AN)-aided transmission scheme to facilitate the secrecy information transmission to IRs and, yet, meet the energy harvesting requirement for ERs, under the assumption that the AN can be canceled at IRs but not at ERs. Specifically, the proposed scheme splits the transmit power into two parts: to send the confidential message to the IR and an AN to interfere with the ER, respectively. Under a simplified three-node wiretap channel setup, the transmit power allocations and power splitting ratios over fading channels are jointly optimized to minimize the outage probability for delay-limited secrecy information transmission or to maximize the average rate for no-delay-limited secrecy information transmission, subject to a combination of average and peak power constraints (APC and PPC) at the transmitter (Tx) and an average energy harvesting constraint at the ER. Both the secrecy outage probability minimization and average rate maximization problems are shown to be nonconvex, and for each, we propose the optimal solution based on the dual decomposition and the suboptimal solution based on the alternating optimization. Furthermore, two benchmark schemes are introduced for comparison where the AN is not used at the Tx and where the AN is used but cannot be canceled by the IR, respectively. Finally, the performances of proposed schemes are evaluated by simulations in terms of various tradeoffs for wireless (secrecy) information versus energy transmissions.

Secrecy wireless information and power transfer in fading wiretap channel

Hong Xing, Liang Liu, Rui Zhang

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has recently drawn significant interests for its dual use of radio signals to provide wireless data and energy access at the same time. However, a challenging secrecy communication problem arises in the SWIPT system since the messages sent to information receivers (IRs) may be eavesdropped by energy receivers (ERs), which are presumed to receive energy from the same signals broadcast by the transmitter. To tackle this problem, we propose in this paper an artificial noise (AN) aided transmission scheme to facilitate the secrecy information transmission to IRs and yet meet the energy harvesting requirement for ERs, under the assumption that the AN can be cancelled at IRs but not at ERs. Specifically, the proposed scheme splits the power at the transmitter into two parts, to send the confidential message to the IR and an AN to interfere with the ER against eavesdropping, respectively. Under a simplified three-node wiretap channel setup, the transmit power allocations and power splitting ratios over fading channels are jointly optimized to maximize the average secrecy information rate for the IR subject to a combination of average and peak power constraints at the transmitter as well as an average energy harvesting constraint at the ER. The formulated problem is shown to be non-convex, for which we propose an efficient algorithm by iteratively optimizing the transmit power allocations and power splitting ratios over fading channels. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by simulations and compared against other heuristic schemes in terms of achievable (secrecy) rate-energy trade-off.

Secrecy Performance Optimization of SWIPT Wireless Networks in Partial Secrecy Regime

Shilpa Thakur, Satyajit Thakor

This work considers a single-input-single-output (SISO) simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system, which comprises a single-antenna transmitter named Alice, one single-antenna legitimate receiver named Bob, and$M(M\gt 1)$single-antenna energy receivers (ERs). This paper examines the secrecy performance SISO SWIPT network in the presence of malevolent ERs in the partial secrecy regime that is based on the notion of practical equivocation and derives the closed-form expression for the generalized secrecy outage probability (GSOP), average fractional equivocation (AFE), and average information leakage rate (AILR). Moreover, a performance metric, referred to as the amount of confusion level (ACL), which measures the degree of confusion level at ERs is also analyzed for the proposed SWIPT networks. The optimal values of the secrecy rate and Alice’s transmission rate which are subject to throughput constraints are calculated in order to minimize the GSOP, maximize the AFE, and minimize the AILR. Finally, the optimal value of the power spitting factor is calculated.

Secrecy Analysis in SWIPT Systems Over Generalized-$K$ Fading Channels

Zhijie Wang, Hui Zhao, Shuai Wang +2 more

In this letter, we investigate the secrecy performance of the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system over generalized-K fading channels. After analyzing the communications scenario, we derive the closedform expression for the secrecy outage probability (SOP), and give some simplified expressions for SOP in some special cases. Effective secrecy throughput is also investigated to capture the amount of secure transmitted information. To derive the diversity order, the asymptotic SOP is also analyzed when the average signal-to-noise ratio is sufficiently large. Finally, numerical results are used to validate the correctness of our derived expressions.

A new scheme to improve the secrecy throughput under the constraints of secrecy outage probability and average transmit power

Pengcheng Mu, Peizhi Yang, Bo Wang +2 more

The issue of physical layer security for the wireless communication with slow fading is addressed in this paper, and the secrecy outage performance is concerned. The system is modeled as a wiretap channel, and each of the transmitter and receivers is equipped with a single antenna. The channel state information (CSI) about the channel from the transmitter to the legitimate receiver (the main channel) is assumed to be perfectly known by the transmitter and the receivers, while the transmitter does not know the CSI about the channel from the transmitter to the eavesdropper (the eavesdropper's channel) but its probability density function (PDF). Differing from the fixed secrecy rate scheme and the on/off scheme in the literature, this paper adaptively chooses the secrecy rate. The secrecy rate for each value of the main channel gain is determined by the required secrecy outage probability and the PDF of the eavesdropper's channel, and the secrecy throughput is maximized under the constraint of the transmit power for the required secrecy outage probability. The quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel is used to compare our scheme with the two existing schemes, and simulation results show that our scheme outperforms them when small secrecy outage probabilities are required.
