Abstract

A novel approach comprising of "Destination-based Jamming" (DJ) technique with "Interference-assisted Energy harvesting" (EH) in a "Cooperative Network" (CN) has been discussed in this paper. Here we have studied the "Secrecy Throughput" (STP) performance of the "Decode-and-Forward Relay" (DFR) network that uses Hybrid protocol to harvest energy both from Source signal and Interferer to use it for relaying operation. The beneficial effects of interference power on the secrecy performance of DF relaying are investigated. The impact of some system parameters, such as the power splitting ratio, energy harvesting coefficient, target secrecy rate and interferer-eavesdropper distance have been studied on the system secrecy throughput. Simulation results reveal that the EH scheme proposed in this paper can achieve higher secrecy capacity than traditional relaying strategies. The main objective is to find out how much STP can be achieved by harvesting energy from an interferer (I) in the presence of an eavesdropper (EAV). The results of this paper illustrate how the interference power and jamming affect the secrecy throughput in cooperative system. In addition, these results serve as guideline on the maximum amount of interferer power that can be harvested so as to maximize the STP.

Physical Layer Secrecy by Power Splitting and Jamming in Cooperative Multiple Relay Based on Energy Harvesting in Full-Duplex Network

In this article, we investigated the secrecy performance of a three-hop relay network system with Power Splitting (PS) and Energy Harvesting (EH). In the presence of one eavesdropper, a signal is transferred from source to destination with the help of a relay. The source signal transmits in full-duplex (FD) mood, jamming the relay transfer signals to the destination. The relay and source employ Time Switching (TS) and Energy Harvesting (EH) techniques to obtain the power from the power beacon. In this study, we compared the Secrecy Rate of two Cooperative Schemes, Amplify and Forward (AF) and Decode and Forward (DF), for both designed systems with the established EH and PS system. The Secrecy Rate was improved by 50.5% in the AF scheme and by 44.2% in the DF scheme between the relay and eavesdropper at 40 m apart for the proposed system in EH and PS. This simulation was performed using the Monto Carlo method in MATLAB.

Secrecy Performance of a Cooperative Network with Battery-Assisted Energy Harvesting Nodes

Amit R. Patel, Shankar Prakriya

This paper analyzes the secrecy performance of a two-hop cooperative network with battery-assisted energy harvesting (EH) nodes. Both the source and the relay employ jamming to improve secrecy. A power beacon (PB) supplies energy to the nodes using the harvest-store-use (HSU) architecture. To counter the variation in harvested energy, some battery energy is added to it. Both nodes apportion this sum energy between the information and jamming symbols. We consider the maximal ratio combining (MRC) of the direct and relayed signals at the destination and the eavesdropper. We assume channel state information (CSI) of destination and eavesdropper links are not available at both the source and relay. We derive an approximate expression for secrecy outage probability assuming the selective decode-and-forward (SDF) protocol. We then derive the high-SNR approximation to it. We demonstrate improvement in secrecy performance with an increase in the transmit power of PB. Also, there exists an optimal power apportioning parameter different from equal power allocation that minimizes secrecy outage both at the source and at the relay. Extensive simulations corroborate the derived analytical results.

A study of physical layer security with energy harvesting in single hop relaying environment

Rupali Sinha, Poonam Jindal

This paper investigates the secrecy performance of single hop relaying network with Energy Harvesting (EH) and also shows that the system with EH outperforms the conventional system in terms of secrecy rate and energy efficiency. In the proposed system, the source transmits the information signal to the destination via a relay in the presence of an eavesdropper and the source and relay utilizes time switching EH technique to obtain power from a power beacon. This paper compares the secrecy rate of two cooperative schemes: decode-and-forward (DF), and amplify-and-forward (AF) for both proposed system with EH and the conventional system. The system with EH provides higher secrecy rate than that of the conventional system by 30.47 % for DF cooperative scheme and by 23.63 % for AF relay at a distance of 40 m between the eavesdropper and the relay. The resulting analysis also shows that the secrecy rate of the AF relay is higher than that of the DF relay in both considered system with EH and conventional system.

Secure communication for wireless energy harvesting decode and forward relay in presence of an eavesdropper

Gowthamkrishnan Cherukuri, Shashibhushan Sharma, Srinivas Nallagonda +1 more

In this paper, we analyze the secrecy performance of a dual hop communication system with decode and forward relay (DFR) in the presence of an eavesdropper (EAV), which operates in full duplex mode. The secrecy capacity of the system is enhanced by using a Hybrid scheme of combination of time switching-based relaying (TSR) and power splitting-based relaying (PSR). A novel scheme of assisting the confidential information transmission by simultaneous transmission of jamming signal is presented. Both relay and EAV harvest energy from RF signals by using the Hybrid scheme. The performance of the scheme is evaluated in terms of secrecy outage probability (SOP) under several conditions of network parameters and SNRs of inter node channels. We also compare the results of PSR scheme alone in terms of SOP with Hybrid scheme under our proposed jamming model. MATLAB based simulation of our scheme demonstrates significant reduction of SOP.

Energy Harvesting for Physical Layer Security in Cooperative Networks Based on Compressed Sensing

Shuai Chang, Jialun Li, Xiaomei Fu +1 more

Energy harvesting (EH) has attracted a lot of attention in cooperative communication networks studies for its capability of transferring energy from sources to relays. In this paper, we study the secrecy capacity of a cooperative compressed sensing amplify and forward (CCS-AF) wireless network in the presence of eavesdroppers based on an energy harvesting protocol. In this model, the source nodes send their information to the relays simultaneously, and then the relays perform EH from the received radio-frequency signals based on the power splitting-based relaying (PSR) protocol. The energy harvested by the relays will be used to amplify and forward the received information to the destination. The impacts of some key parameters, such as the power splitting ratio, energy conversion efficiency, relay location, and the number of relays, on the system secrecy capacity are analyzed through a group of experiments. Simulation results reveal that under certain conditions, the proposed EH relaying scheme can achieve higher secrecy capacity than traditional relaying strategies while consuming equal or even less power.

Chandrima Thakur, Sudipta Chattopadhyay

This paper introduces a novel scheme of Maximum Radio Frequency Energy Harvested Antenna Selection in Two-Way Communication via two multi-antenna Relays in the presence of an interferer under eavesdropper attack. The basic objective of our work is to investigate the Secrecy Performance in Two-Way Multi-antenna Relay network with Interference-aided EH using Maximum Harvested Energy Antenna-Selection Scheme. The impact of some network parameters, namely energy harvesting coefficient, Transmit Power of Sources, Interferer Transmit Power, Global Target Secrecy Rate and no of antennas has been examined on the Secrecy capacity. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed model improves the secrecy performance significantly as compared to its contrast models. Also a trade-off has been observed between secure transmission and reliable communication. Furthermore, these results serve as a criterion for the deployment of maximum number of antennas for two way communication to enhance the Secrecy Capacity.
