Abstract

In this paper, a downlink wiretap channel simultaneous information and power transfer (SWIPT) system model is proposed for Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The system model comprises of a single antenna base station, two energy constrained legitimate sensor nodes each equipped with two antennae i.e one antenna for information reception and the other for energy harvesting. Also, the system is assumed to suffer from the presence of passive single antenna non-collaborating eavesdropping nodes. The legitimate and eavesdropping channels are assumed to follow the quasi-static Rayleigh fading distribution. Particularly, closed form expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative density function (CDF) of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the non-collaborating eavesdropping scenario are derived. Additionally, closed form expressions for the exact secrecy outage probability (SOP) and secrecy throughput are derived. Finally, numerical results are used to validate the theoretical analysis.

Secure Transmission of Cooperative Zero-Forcing Jamming for Two-User SWIPT Sensor Networks

Xuanxuan Tang, Yueming Cai, Wendong Yang +3 more

In this paper, the secrecy performance of the two-user simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) sensor networks is studied and a novel secure transmission scheme of cooperative zero-forcing (ZF) jamming is proposed. The two sensors opportunistically conduct the SWIPT and cooperative ZF jamming, respectively, where the energy required for jamming the eavesdropper is provided by the SWIPT operation so as to keep the energy balance at the sensors in the long run. By deriving the exact closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability and the secrecy throughout, we provide an effective approach to precisely assess the impacts of key parameters on the secrecy performance of the system. It has been shown that the secrecy outage probability is a monotonically increasing function of the growth of secrecy rate ( R s ), and a monotonically decreasing function of the increase of the transmit signal-to-noise ratio ( γ S ), and energy conversion efficiency ( η ). Furthermore, the secrecy throughput could be enhanced when η increases, which becomes especially obvious when a large γ S is provided. Moreover, the existence of an optimum R s maximizing the secrecy throughput is depicted, which also grows with the increase of γ S . Simulations are provided for the validation of the analysis.

Physical Layer Security Enhancement for Internet of Things in the Presence of Co-Channel Interference and Multiple Eavesdroppers

Tonny Ssettumba, Ahmed Hassan Abd El-Malek, Maha Mohamed Elsabrouty +1 more

This paper investigates the secrecy performance of a multiuser system that utilizes transmit antenna selection scheme at the base station and adopts threshold-based selection diversity opportunistic scheduling over legitimate nodes. The legitimate transmission suffers from the presence of noncolluding (Non-Col) and colluding (Col) multiple passive eavesdroppers. Both the legitimate and eavesdropping nodes are assumed to suffer from co-channel interference (CCI) signals from independent channels that follow Rayleigh fading. Closed-form expressions for the probability density functions and cumulative density functions of the end-to-end signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio for both eavesdropping scenarios in the presence of CCI signals are derived. In addition, closed-form expressions for the network secrecy outage probability (SOP) for Non-Col/Col scenarios are derived. At the high signal-to-noise ratio values, closed-form expressions for the asymptotic secrecy outage probabilities are obtained. Following this obtained asymptotic analysis, an optimization problem for power allocation is formulated and solved to improve the secrecy performance of the network by minimizing the asymptotic SOP for both Col and Non-Col cases. The derived analytical expressions are then validated using both simulations and numerical results.

Physical layer security in two-hop cooperative networks based on multi-node SWIPT

Dandan Guo, Baogang Li, Yabo Lv +1 more

In this paper, we consider a multi-node-assisted two-hop cooperative network, where an energy constrained source (S) aims to establish secure communications with a legitimate user in the presence of an eavesdropper. The cooperative nodes simultaneously assist the transmission from base station to legitimate user. Each cooperative node applies power splitting protocol to coordinate the received signal energy for information decoding and energy harvesting. The power splitting ratios at multi-node are formulated based on decode-and-forward (DF) relaying protocols. Depending on the available channel state information (CSI) at the source, we propose two different jamming schemes for secrecy performance enhancement. An optimal node is selected as a jammer to interfere the eavesdropper or a relay to forward the information to legitimate user. we evaluate the network performance based on secrecy outage probability (SOP). In addition, simple and accurate approximations are obtained at different transmission speed thresholds. Furthermore, numerical results reveal that there exist unique splitting ratios and harvesting efficiency that minimize the SOP.

Security Analysis of Cooperative Jamming in Internet of Things with Multiple Eavesdroppers

Xin Fan, Yan Huo

With the great-leap-forward development of Internet of Things (IoT), it is extremely important to study secure wireless transmission for IoT systems. A cooperative jamming (CJ) strategy has been extensively studied to enhance physical layer security in IoT systems. However, CJ's secrecy performance has not been well studied in the scenario of collusive eavesdroppers. In this paper, we propose a CJ scheme for IoT systems to fight against multiple passive and collusive eavesdroppers of unknown channel state information. Considering nodes with multi-antenna in an IoT system, we design beamforming vectors to maximize signal-to- interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the wireless link from a controller (transmitter) to an actuator (receiver). Under the worst-case assumption that eavesdroppers can aggregate all signals to enhance their eavesdropping abilities, we derive the closed- form expressions of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) with and without CJ. In addition, we employ a strict mathematical asymptotic analysis to provide insights into the effects of various system parameters on the SOP. Numerical results verify that the CJ scheme can effectively prevent eavesdropping and the effects of system parameters on SOP is consistent with theoretical analytical results.

On secrecy outage of MISO SWIPT systems in the presence of imperfect CSI

Gaofeng Pan, Hongjiang Lei, Yansha Deng +3 more

In this work, a multiple-input single-output (MISO) simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system including one base station (BS) equipped with multiple antennas, one desired single-antenna information receiver (IR) and N (N > 1) single-antenna energy-harvesting receivers (ERs) is considered. By considering that the information signal of the desired IR may be eavesdropped by ERs if ERs are malicious, we investigate the secrecy performance of the target MISO SWIPT system when imperfect channel state information (CSI) is available and adopted for transmit antenna selection at the BS. Considering that each eavesdropping link experiences independent not necessarily identically distributed Rayleigh fading, the closed-form expressions for the exact and the asymptotic secrecy outage probability are derived and verified by simulation results.

On Secrecy Performance of MISO SWIPT Systems With TAS and Imperfect CSI

In this paper, a multiple-input single-output (MISO) simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system, including one base station (BS) equipped with multiple antennas, one desired single-antenna information receiver (IR), and N (N > 1) single-antenna energy-harvesting receivers (ERs) is considered. Assuming that the information signal to the desired IR may be eavesdropped by ERs if ERs are malicious, we investigate the secrecy performance of the target MISO SWIPT system when imperfect channel state information (CSI) is available and adopted for transmit antenna selection at the BS. Considering that each eavesdropping link experiences independent but not necessarily identically distributed Rayleigh fading, the closed-form expressions for the exact and the asymptotic secrecy outage probability, and the average secrecy capacity are derived and verified by simulations. Furthermore, the optimal power splitting factor is derived for each ER to realize the tradeoff between the energy harvesting and the information eavesdropping. Our results reveal the impact of the imperfect CSI on the secrecy performance of MISO SWIPT systems in the presence of multiple wiretap channels.
