Enhancing Physical Layer Security of Multiuser SIMO Mixed RF/FSO Relay Networks with Multi-Eavesdroppers

Ahmed Hassan Abd El-Malek, Anas M. Salhab, Salam A. Zummo +1 more

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance of multiuser (MU) single-input multiple-output (SIMO) mixed radio frequency (RF)/free space optical (FSO) relay network with opportunistic user scheduling and multiple eavesdropping attacks. The considered system includes multiple users, one amplify-and-froward (AF) relay, one destination and multiple eavesdroppers. The users are connected with a multi-antenna relay through RF links and the relay is connected with the destination through an FSO link. Maximal ratio combining (MRC) scheme is used at the relay node to combine the received signals at its different antennas. The RF/FSO channels are assumed to follow Nakagami-m/Gamma-Gamma fading models with considering the effect of pointing errors. In particular, we derive closed- form expressions for the exact and asymptotic outage probabilities. The asymptotic outage results are then used to obtain the optimal RF transmission power based on the dominant link between the RF and FSO links. Then, the considered system secrecy performance is investigated in the presence of multi- eavesdroppers where exact closed-form expression for the intercept probability is derived. Finally, a cooperative jamming model is proposed along with power allocation to enhance the system secrecy performance. Monte-Carlo simulations are provided to validate the achieved exact and asymptotic results.

Physical layer security of interference aligned mixed RF/unified‐FSO relaying network

Deeb Assad Tubail, Mohammed El‐Absi, Anas M. Salhab +3 more

In this study, the authors secure the mixed radio frequency/free space optical (FSO) relay‐aided interference aligned system using a proposed physical layer security algorithm. This algorithm reduces the quality of the received signal at the eavesdropper through two procedures. First, it minimises the data transmission power from the legitimate users and the relays. Second, it jams the eavesdropper by broadcasting artificial noise from the users and the relays. Therefore, a joint optimisation problem is formulated to degrade the received signal at the eavesdropper from the users and the relays and to maximise the jamming artificial noise power, which is solved using an iterative optimisation algorithm beside a semi‐definitive programming algorithm. Furthermore, the pre‐coding and decoding matrices of the users and the relay are designed to enable the legitimate users to cancel the artificial noise, while the eavesdropper is disabled from distinguishing the artificial noise from the real streams. Moreover, the security performance of the proposed algorithm is analysed, and the impact of the FSO link's state on the security performance is studied. The extensive simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm and illustrate the role of the FSO link's state on the security performance.

Effect of RF Interference on the Security-Reliability Tradeoff Analysis of Multiuser Mixed RF/FSO Relay Networks With Power Allocation

Ahmed Hassan Abd El-Malek, Anas M. Salhab, Salam A. Zummo +1 more

In this paper, the impact of radio frequency (RF) cochannel interference (CCI) on the performance of multiuser mixed RF/free-space optical (FSO) relay network with opportunistic user scheduling under eavesdropping attack is studied. The considered system includes multiple users, one decode-and forward relay, one destination, and an eavesdropper. In the analysis, the RF/FSO channels follow Nakagami-m/Gamma-Gamma fading models, respectively, with pointing errors on the FSO link. Exact closed-form expression for the system outage probability is derived. Then, an asymptotic expression for the outage probability is obtained at the high signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio regime to get more insights on the system performance. Moreover, the obtained results are used to find the optimal transmission power in different turbulence conditions. The secrecy performance is studied in the presence of CCI at both the authorized relay and eavesdropper, where closed-form expressions are derived for the intercept probability. The physical layer security performance is enhanced using cooperative jamming models, where new closed-form expressions are derived for the intercept probability. Another power allocation optimization problem is formulated to find the optimal transmission and jamming powers. The derived analytical formulas are supported by numerical results to clarify the main contributions of this paper.
