Abstract
In this paper we evaluate the secrecy outage probability (SOP) of an amplify and forward relay (AFR) scheme in presence of a single eavesdropper (EAV). A two hop communication scheme is studied where secrecy is enhanced by transmitting jamming signals from source (S), relay (R) and destination (D). A novel scheme of assisting the confidential information transfer by simultaneous transmission of jamming signal is presented. The source transmit power is appropriately divided for simultaneously transmission of jamming signal and information signal following a power splitting ratio (a). The performance of the scheme is evaluated in terms of secrecy outage probability (SOP) under several conditions of transmission power of source, relay, destination and SNRs of inter node channels. A MATLAB based simulation of our scheme demonstrates significant reduction of SOP.
