Abstract

This study investigates the secrecy outage performance of a single‐input multiple‐output underlay cognitive radio network (CRN) with outdated channel state information (CSI). The confidential messages are transmitted from transmitter to the destination, while a multi‐antenna eavesdropper exists. The maximal ratio combining and selection combining schemes are utilised at the receivers to improve the quality of the received signal‐to‐noise ratio. The exact and asymptotic closed‐form expressions of secrecy outage probability are derived, and simulation results are provided to verify the authors' proposed analytical results. The results reveal that imperfect CSI of main channels deteriorates the secrecy outage performance while that of eavesdropping and interfering channels has contrary effect, and only a unity diversity order can be obtained in underlay CRNs with imperfect CSI.

Secrecy outage analysis on underlay cognitive radio using selection combining

Tan, You-yu, Pan +3 more

Secure data transmission in future high-capacity high-coverage multi-tier hierarchical networks, for which cognitive radio(CR) has emerged as an essential recipe, is of utmost importance. This paper investigates the secrecy outage performance of selection combining(SC) in CR networks(CRNs) over Rayleigh fading channels. In a single-input multiple-output(SIMO) wiretap channel, a secondary user transmits confidential messages to another secondary user, which is equipped with( 1)B Bn n ≥ antennas. Meanwhile, a passive eavesdropper, which is equipped with( 1)E En n ≥ antennas, intends to overhear the messages. Both the legal receiver and the eavesdropper adopt SC scheme to process the received multiple signals. The secondary transmitter uses the underlay strategy to guarantee the quality of service of the primary user without spectrum sensing. Compared to the work proposed by Maged Elkashlan et al. in Ref. [1], we present an alternative method to derive the closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability(SOP) and develop a simplified SOP when the maximal transmit power at the secondary user is sufficiently high. Our results reveal the impact of the primary network on the secondary network with a multi-antenna wiretap channel and simulations are conducted to validate the accuracy of our proposed analytical models.

Secrecy Performance of SIMO Underlay Cognitive Radio Networks Over α – μ Fading Channels

Suneel Yadav, Devendra Singh Gurjar

This paper investigates the secrecy performance of a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) based underlay cognitive radio networks. In particular, a single-antenna secondary transmitter transmits its secret message to a multi-antenna equipped secondary node in the presence of a multi-antenna equipped passive eavesdropper under a peak interference constraint at the single-antenna primary receiver. We proficiently derive the expressions for secrecy outage probability (SOP), intercept probability, and ergodic secrecy capacity (ESC) for the considered system over$\alpha -\mu $fading channels. Further, we carry out the asymptotic analysis of SOP and intercept probability under two cases of interest; 1) when the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the main link, i.e., between the secondary source and secondary destination, goes to infinity with a fixed average SNR of wiretap link between the secondary source and secondary eavesdropper, and 2) when the SNRs of both the main and wiretap links tend to infinity. We can infer that a secrecy diversity order of$\frac {\alpha _{D}N_{D}\mu _{D}}{2}$can be achieved under case 1, where$\alpha _{D}$and$\mu _{D}$are the main link fading parameters, and$N_{D}$denotes the number of antennas at the destination. Whereas, under case 2, the system’s secrecy diversity order becomes zero. Moreover, we also present some interesting findings for the ESC when the interference constrained secondary transmitter power is considerably high. Further, we validate our analytical framework through extensive simulation and numerical results, and demonstrate the effects of system/channel parameters on the secrecy performance of the considered system. Our results reveal that the higher number of eavesdropper antennas can have a more deleterious impact on the system’s secrecy performance.

Secure Transmission in Cognitive MIMO Networks Using Cooperative Jammer With Outdated CSI

Tao Zhang, Zhihui Shang, Hao Wu +2 more

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance of an underlay spectrum sharing cognitive MIMO networks with the help of a cooperative jammer (Charlie), in which the secondary transmitter (Alice) aims to communicate with secondary receiver (Bob) in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve). In order to analyze the impact of the imperfect channel state information (CSI), the CSI of the links between secondary network and primary network, Alice and Bob, Charlie and Eve are considered to be outdated, respectively. We propose the transmit antenna selection-maximal-ratio combining/zero forcing beamforming scheme (TAS-MRC/ZFB) to improve the secrecy performance of the considered networks. Furthermore, the exact and the asymptotic closed-form expressions of secrecy outage probability are provided to analyze the impacts of the outdated CSI and the proposed TAS-MRC/ZFB on the considered networks. The results reveal that the outdated CSI between secondary network and primary network has a significant impact on secrecy performance of the considered networks in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region, the outdated CSI between Charlie and Eve will significantly deteriorate the secrecy performance of the considered networks in high SNR region. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to verify our analysis.

Physical layer security of maximal ratio combining in underlay cognitive radio unit over Rayleigh fading channels

Hui Zhao, Hequn Liu, Yaping Liu +2 more

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy outage performance of maximal ratio combining (MRC) in cognitive radio networks (CRNs) over Rayleigh fading channels. In a single input multiple output wiretap system, we consider a secondary user SU-TX transmits confidential messages to another secondary user SU-RX equipped with K (K>1) antennas while MRC technique is adopted to improve its received signal-to-noise ratio. Meanwhile, an eavesdropper exists to overhear the information between SU-TX and SU-RX. SU-TX adopts the underlay strategy to meet the quality of service of the primary user without spectrum sensing. In this paper, we derive the closed-form expressions for the secrecy outage probability and the probability of nonzero secrecy capacity of MRC scheme in CRNs over Rayleigh fading channels. Simulations are conducted to validate the accuracy of our proposed analytical models.

Secrecy Performance of Underlay Cognitive Radio Networks With Primary Interference

Shilpa Thakur, Ajay Singh

This work explores the physical layer security of an underlay cognitive radio network (CRN) in the presence of a powerful interferer called a primary transmitter (PT) under peak interference power constraint. Under this scenario, the secondary transmitter (Alice) transmits secret information on a single antenna with the highest signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) to a legitimate receiver (Bob), and an eavesdropper (Eve) attempts to intercept that information. Depending upon the availability of channel state information (CSI) of the eavesdropper channel, we investigate the secrecy performance of the proposed network in the Rayleigh fading environment for both passive and active eavesdropping scenarios. We obtain analytical expressions for the secrecy outage probability, intercept probability, and$\epsilon$-outage secrecy capacity in a passive eavesdropping scenario. A complete investigation of the average secrecy capacity (ASC) has been made, and novel expressions for the exact and asymptotic ASC have been obtained for active eavesdropping. Bolstering these results, we also define a high SINR power offset, which quantifies the significance of main system parameters on the ASC explicitly. Further, the effect of outdated CSI of Alice to primary receiver link on the various performance metrics with the concept of interference-outage is also studied.

Secrecy Analysis of Underlay CRN in the Presence of Correlated and Imperfect Channel

Shilpa Thakur, Ajay Singh, Sudhan Majhi

The presence of correlated and imperfect channel state information (CSI) affects the secrecy performance of cognitive radio networks (CRN). In this paper, we propose a physical layer security analysis of underlay CRN in terms of secrecy outage probability (SOP), average secrecy rate (ASR), and amount of secrecy loss (ASL). Closed forms of SOP, ASR, and ASL are provided over imperfect CSI of Rayleigh fading environment where the legitimate channel is correlated with the eavesdropper channel. The analytical results are compared with the simulation results. The work is also compared with existing work. It has been observed that the secrecy performance of the network improves as peak interference power increases, and the correlation positively impacts the secrecy performance at a medium-to-high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR); however, it degrades the data security capability of the network at low SNR. Furthermore, asymptotic analysis shows that the secrecy performance of the network improves with the growing correlation between legitimate and eavesdropper channels when the SNR of the legitimate channel is much higher than that of the eavesdropper channel, whereas secrecy performance decreases with a reducing correlation when the SNR of the legitimate channel is approximately equal to SNR of eavesdropper channel.
