Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy outage performance of a typical cooperative downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system over Nakagami-m fading channel, in which the base station transmits a superimposed signal to two users via a relay. First, the secrecy outage behavior of the considered system over Nakagami-$m$ fading channel under three wiretapping cases, e.g., one eavesdropper (Eve), non-colluding and colluding eavesdroppers, are studied, and both analytical and asymptotic expressions for the secrecy outage probability are derived. Next, by considering the availability of Eves' channel state information, we adopt the two-stage relay selection (RS) strategy to improve the system's secrecy outage performance. Finally, simulation results are provided to corroborate the accuracy of our derived expressions. The results show that: 1) there exists secrecy performance floor for cooperative NOMA system, and it was determined by the weak user's secrecy requirement and the channel conditions of the Eves; 2) the two-stage RS scheme can increase the secrecy outage performance significantly under three wiretapping cases; 3) the secrecy performance of cooperative NOMA network is superior to that of orthogonal multiple access network on the condition of low and medium signal-to-noise ratio regions.

Secure Outage Analysis for Cooperative NOMA Systems With Antenna Selection

Xinyue Pei, Hua Xing Yu, Miaowen Wen +2 more

The secrecy outage probability (SOP) performance is investigated for a cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access system under eavesdropping attack, where a base station transmits signals to a far user via a full-duplex relay, and to a near user directly at the same time, in the presence of an eavesdropper. All nodes are configured with multiple antennas and antenna selection is adopted by the base station and relay to enhance the security performance. The exact and asymptotic closed-form SOP expressions are derived, which incorporate the impact of imperfect channel state information and apply to general cases considering the quality of service of the far and near users, whether or not the wiretap channel is known, and the location of the eavesdropper. Monte Carlo simulations corroborate the analysis and the superiority of the proposed system over the single-antenna system and the one without antenna selection. It is also revealed that the asymptotic SOP performance of the near user is nearly independent of the power allocation.

Secrecy Outage Probability in Cooperative NOMA based 5G Wireless Networks in Nakagami-m Fading Environment

Priyesh Ranjan, V. Aswathi, S. Poornima

This paper investigates the application of a cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network with two down-link users in Nakagami-m fading scenario. The near user acts as a decode-and-forward full-duplex relay for the far user. An eavesdropper is also present in the network, which tries to access messages intended for legitimate users. In full-duplex mode, the near user will send jamming signals and receive desired signals during the first phase. During the second phase, the base station sends jamming signals. Analytical expressions for the secrecy outage probabilities and the overall system secrecy outage probability (SOP) are derived. Also, the optimal power allocation coefficient that minimizes the overall SOP is determined using the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm. We establish that using optimal power allocation coefficients can reduce the overall outage probability significantly as compared to the random selection of the power allocation factor.

Secrecy Performance of Cooperative NOMA System with Multiple Full-Duplex Relays against Non-Colluding/Colluding Eavesdroppers

Nesrine Zaghdoud, Adel Ben Mnaouer, Hatem Boujemâa +1 more

In 5G and beyond wireless communication net-works, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and Full-Duplex (FD) techniques are considered as promising key techniques. However, the secrecy in NOMA systems has proven to be quite challenging, especially in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers. For this purpose and using the potential of cooperative and FD communication, we investigate the secrecy performance of dual-hop FD Amplify-and-Forward NOMA system. Based on the channel state information of the first hop, partial relay selection (PRS) is performed to determine the best relay. The secrecy outage behaviour of the considered system is studied through deriving closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) metric for both strong and weak NOMA users under the presence of multiple eavesdroppers in colluding and non-colluding wiretapping scenarios. Numerical results are also provided to verify the derived analytical results.

Secrecy performance analysis of QoS-based non-orthogonal multiple access networks over Nakagami-m fading

Duc‐Dung Tran, Dac‐Binh Ha

In this paper, we consider the physical layer security of a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system, in which users' quality of service (QoS) requirements are investigated to perform NOMA and all channels are assumed to follow Nakagami-m fading. Specifically, we investigate the scenario that a source transmits information to two legitimate users (LUs) using NOMA scheme in the presence of a passive eavesdropper, where each LU has the different priority based on its QoS requirements. In order to characterize the secrecy performance, the new closed-form expression of overall secrecy outage probability is derived. Finally, our theoretical analyses validated by Monte-Carlo simulation show that in QoS-based NOMA system, the better secrecy performance of overall communication process can be obtained in case that there is not much difference in the level of priority between LUs.

Secrecy Outage Probability of Relay Selection Based Cooperative NOMA for IoT Networks

Hui Li, Yaping Chen, Mingfu Zhu +4 more

As an important partner of fifth generation (5G) communication, the internet of things (IoT) is widely used in many fields with its characteristics of massive terminals, intelligent processing, and remote control. In this paper, we analyze security performance for the cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks for IoT, where the multi-relay Wyner model with direct link between the base station and the eavesdropper is considered. In particular, secrecy outage probability (SOP) for two kinds of relay selection (RS) schemes (i.e., single-phase RS (SRS) and two-phase RS (TRS)) is developed in the form of closed solution. As a benchmark for comparison, the SOP for random RS (RRS) is also obtained. To gain more meaningful insights, approximate derivations of SOP under the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region are provided. Results of statistical simulation confirm the theoretical analysis and testify that: i) Compared with RRS scheme, SRS and TRS may improve secure performance because of obtaining smaller SOPs; ii) There exists secrecy performance floor for the SOP in strong SNR regime, which is dominated by NOMA protocol; iii) The security performance can be enhanced by augmenting the quantity of relays for SRS and TRS strategies. The purpose of this work is to provide theoretical basis for the analysis and design of anti-eavesdropping for NOMA systems in IoT.

Secrecy Analysis for Cooperative NOMA Networks With Multi-Antenna Full-Duplex Relay

Yang Cao, Nan Zhao, Gaofeng Pan +4 more

In a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system, the reliable transmission of cell-edge users cannot be guaranteed due to severe channel fading. On the other hand, the presence of eavesdroppers can severely threaten the secure transmission due to the open nature of wireless channel. Thus, a two-user NOMA system assisted by a multi-antenna decode-and-forward relay is considered in this paper, and a two-stage jamming scheme, full-duplex-jamming (FDJam), is proposed to ensure the secure transmission of NOMA users. In the FDJam scheme, using full-duplex, the relay transmits the jamming signal to the eavesdropper while receiving confidential messages in the first stage, and the base station generates the jamming signal in the second stage. Furthermore, we eliminate the self-interference and the jamming signal at the relay and the legitimate node, respectively, through relay beamforming. To measure the secrecy performance, analytical expressions for secrecy outage probability (SOP) are derived for both the cell-center and cell-edge users, and the asymptotic SOP analysis at high transmit power is presented as well. Moreover, two benchmark schemes, half-duplex-jamming and full-duplex-no-jamming, are also considered. Simulation results are presented to show the accuracy of the analytical expressions and the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
