Abstract

This paper investigates a secure transmission in the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cognitive wiretap networks, where a secondary transmitter (Alice) sends data to a secondary receiver (Bob) in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve). In order to solve the problems of inter channel interference and inter antenna synchronization encountered by traditional MIMO technologies, the antenna transmission scheme is adopted at the transmitter. As a comparison, we design two different antenna transmission schemes, namely transmit antenna selection maximal-ratio combining (TAS-MRC) scheme and differential spatial modulation maximal-ratio combining (DSM-MRC) scheme, respectively. Moreover, due to outdated channel state information (CSI) of the interference link from Alice to the primary user (PU), we propose power control mechanism to protect the quality of service (QoS) of PU. Furthermore, the closed-form for the secrecy outage probability and the secrecy throughput with TAS-MRC and DSM-MRC schemes are derived to evaluate the secrecy performance, respectively. What's more, we explore the security diversity gain and coding gain based on the asymptotic secrecy outage probability. As the results, it demonstrates that DSM-MRC requires less CSI and is convenient for modulation and demodulation, but sacrifices some secrecy performance gains between two proposed schemes.

Secure Transmission in Cognitive MIMO Relaying Networks With Outdated Channel State Information

Tao Zhang, Yueming Cai, Yuzhen Huang +2 more

In this paper, we introduce transmit antenna selection/maximal-ratio combining (TAS/MRC) scheme in dual-hop randomize-and-forward (RaF) cognitive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wiretap networks with outdated channel state information (CSI). In this network, the secondary transmitter adopts the TAS scheme to choose the antenna with the maximal received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), while the secondary receiver and the eavesdropper adopt the MRC scheme to combine the received signals. To thoroughly assess the secrecy performance achieved by the TAS/MRC scheme and the impact of outdated CSI on the secrecy performance, we derive a new closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability of dual-hop RaF cognitive MIMO wiretap networks. In order to achieve more insights on the application of TAS/MRC scheme, we further present tractable asymptotic secrecy outage probability at high SNR regimes under two distinct scenarios. From our analysis, several important concluding remarks are obtained as follows: 1) the RaF relaying strategy achieves better secrecy performance than that of the decode-and-forward relaying strategy for dual-hop cognitive MIMO wiretap networks; 2) outdated CSI decreases the secrecy diversity gain of the TAS/MRC scheme from NRmin (NA, NB) to (NR, NB) ; and 3) although TAS/MRC scheme cannot attain full secrecy diversity gain for the considered system with outdated CSI, it still can achieve an extra secrecy coding gain compared with the random antenna selection/MRC scheme.

Secure Transmission of Cognitive Wiretap Networks Based on Differential Spatial Modulation

Yong Chen, Tao Zhang, Yueming Cai +2 more

This paper studies the secrecy performance of cognitive wiretap networks, in which the secrecy secondary transmitter (Alice) transmits information to multiple secondary receivers (Bobs) in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve). Specifically, to reduce the power consumption and complexity of the secondary users, this paper put forward a novel transmission scheme based on the differential spatial modulation (DSM), which can reduce the processing complexity at Alice and Bobs. Moreover, the exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions, for secrecy outage probability and effective secrecy throughput, are derived to assess the performance of the proposed DSM scheme. From the analysis, we demonstrate that a) the secrecy diversity is determined by the number of the Alice's antennas and the number of Bobs, b) the secrecy performance of the considered cognitive wiretap networks based on DSM outperforms the same networks without DSM.

Secure Transmission in Cognitive Wiretap Networks

Tao Zhang, Yueming Cai, Yuzhen Huang +3 more

In this paper, we analyze the secrecy performance of multi-antenna cognitive wiretap network, where the secondary transmitter (Alice) communicates with the secondary receiver (Bob) in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve). Specifically, we investigate the cases of maximal-ratio combining (MRC) with half-duplex (HD) and selection combining/Zero forcing beamforming (SC/ZFB) scheme with full-duplex (FD) operation, respectively. Assuming the Rayleigh fading, closed-form expressions for the secrecy outage probability of cognitive wiretap channels with MRC and SC/ZFB are derived. Furthermore, we provide simple asymptotic approximations for the secrecy outage probability and find that both schemes achieve full diversity. In addition, simulation results reveal that MRC outperforms SC/ZBF in the low interference threshold regime, while the opposite holds in the high interference threshold regime.

Secure Transmission in Cognitive Wiretap Networks with Full-Duplex Receivers

Zhihui Shang, Tao Zhang, Yueming Cai +4 more

This paper studies the secure transmission in the dual-hop cognitive wiretap networks, where the secondary transmitter (Alice) aims to transmit confidential information to the secondary receiver (Bob) in the face of a multi-antenna relay (Relay), while the malicious eavesdropper (Eve) is used to eavesdrop the confidential information from Alice and Relay. To improve security, we design two transmission schemes, namely maximal-ratio combining/maximal-ratio transmission-selection combining (MRC/MRT-SC) with half-duplex (HD) receiver and maximal-ratio combining-zero forcing beamforming/maximal-ratio transmission-selection combining-zero forcing beamforming (MRC-ZFB/MRT-SC-ZFB) with full-duplex (FD) receiver. To evaluate the secrecy performance obtained from the proposed schemes comprehensively, the new closed-form and simple asymptotic expressions for the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and secrecy throughput (ST) of our considered networks with MRC-ZFB/MRT-SC-ZFB and MRC/MRT-SC schemes are derived, respectively. Thus, we explore the effect of various schemes on system secrecy performance in terms of SOP and ST. Analytical results and numerical simulations demonstrate that MRC-ZFB/MRT-SC-ZFB achieves better performance in the two proposed schemes. In particular, we show that the FD receiver plays a crucial role in designing the cognitive wiretap networks for protecting the legitimate link against attack from the malicious eavesdropping.

Secure Transmission in Cognitive MIMO Networks Using Cooperative Jammer With Outdated CSI

Tao Zhang, Zhihui Shang, Hao Wu +2 more

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance of an underlay spectrum sharing cognitive MIMO networks with the help of a cooperative jammer (Charlie), in which the secondary transmitter (Alice) aims to communicate with secondary receiver (Bob) in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve). In order to analyze the impact of the imperfect channel state information (CSI), the CSI of the links between secondary network and primary network, Alice and Bob, Charlie and Eve are considered to be outdated, respectively. We propose the transmit antenna selection-maximal-ratio combining/zero forcing beamforming scheme (TAS-MRC/ZFB) to improve the secrecy performance of the considered networks. Furthermore, the exact and the asymptotic closed-form expressions of secrecy outage probability are provided to analyze the impacts of the outdated CSI and the proposed TAS-MRC/ZFB on the considered networks. The results reveal that the outdated CSI between secondary network and primary network has a significant impact on secrecy performance of the considered networks in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region, the outdated CSI between Charlie and Eve will significantly deteriorate the secrecy performance of the considered networks in high SNR region. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to verify our analysis.

A New Secure Transmission Scheme With Outdated Antenna Selection

Jianwei Hu, Yueming Cai, Nan Yang +1 more

We propose a new secure transmission scheme in the multi-input multi-output multi-eavesdropper wiretap channel. In this channel, the NA-antenna transmitter adopts transmit antenna selection (TAS) to choose the antenna that maximizes the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver to transmit, while the NB-antenna receiver and the NE-antenna eavesdropper adopt maximal-ratio combining (MRC) to combine the received signals. We focus on the practical scenario where the channel state information (CSI) during the TAS process is outdated. In this scenario, we propose a new transmission scheme to prevent the detrimental effect of the outdated CSI on the wiretap codes design at the transmitter. To thoroughly assess the secrecy performance achieved by the proposed scheme, we derive new closed-form expressions for the exact secrecy outage probability and the probability of non-zero secrecy capacity for arbitrary SNRs. We also derive new compact expressions for the asymptotic secrecy outage probability at high SNRs. Notably, in the analysis, we take spatial correlation at the receiver into consideration. Apart from the advantage of our scheme over the conventional TAS/MRC scheme, we demonstrate that the outdated TAS reduces the secrecy diversity order from NANBto NB. We also demonstrate that antenna correlation improves the secrecy performance at low SNR but deteriorates the secrecy performance at medium and high SNRs, by affecting the secrecy array gain only.
