Abstract

In this paper, physical layer security (PLS) analysis of a cooperative wireless communication system in which the source and destination nodes communicate via a relay employing decode-and-forward protocol is performed for double Rayleigh fading channel model. For the system where the source, relay and target have single antenna, an eavesdropper with multiantenna listens the source and relay together by using maximum-ratio-combining, secrecy outage and positive secrecy capacity possibilities are obtained in closed-form. The theoretical results are verified by Monte-Carlo simulations. From the results, it is observed that as the number of antennas of the eavesdropper is increased, the PLS performance of the system worsens.

Physical layer security via maximal ratio combining and relay selection over Rayleigh fading channel

Tong Li, Tianyu Zhang, Bin Zhong +2 more

The impact of both maximal ratio combining (MRC) and relay selection on the physical layer security in wireless communication systems is studied by analyzing some important factors, including the probability characteristic of the legitimate receiver (Bob) and malicious eavesdropper (Eve)'s end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the secrecy outage probability, and the average secrecy channel capacity over Rayleigh fading Channel. We assume that Bob receives its data from both the relay and the source by cooperative communication, provided that MRC is employed at the receiver. Compared to the conventional MRC methods, a higher spatial diversity order can be exploited by performing relay selection in the proposed method, as validated via both theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The theoretical closed-form expressions for some figures of merit, e.g., the secrecy outage probability and the average secrecy capacity, are all consistent with the numerical results.

Joint Relay and Eavesdropper Selection Strategy Against Multiple Eavesdroppers over Nakagami-$m$ Fading Channels in Cooperative Decode-and-Forward Relay Networks

Qian Guo, Wei Feng

Physical layer security (PLS) in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers over Nakagami-m fading channels for cooperative decode-and-forward (DF) relay network that consists of one source, one destination, and multiple relays is investigated. Different from the recent PLS system model that only considers one eavesdropper during eavesdropping attack, this paper extends the one-eavesdropper case to a multiple-eavesdropper scenario and investigates joint relay and eavesdropper selection (JRES) strategy against eavesdropping attack over Nakagami-m fading channels. In the proposed strategy, the best relay is selected via the maximum relay forward channel capacity. In addition, since eavesdroppers are noncooperative, the worst case is considered. Namely, the wiretap channel between the best relay and the chosen eavesdropper has the maximum capacity. Traditional direct transmission and opportunistic relay selection (ORS) scheme in the presence of one eavesdropper over Rayleigh channel are regarded as benchmarks. Moreover, a security-reliability tradeoff (SRT) performance is analyzed, where the reliability performance is expressed by outage probability (OP), while the security performance is measured by intercept probability (IP). Closed-form expressions of OP and IP are derived. The numerical results show that the proposed JRES scheme outperforms the traditional direct transmission and the ORS scheme in the presence of one eavesdropper over Rayleigh channel. The SRT performance is enhanced obviously with the increasing of relay numbers and Nakagami channel fading factor m for a given number of eavesdroppers, which extends the PLS and SRT performance analysis to a more general case in a cooperative DF relay network.

Analyses of transmit antenna selection to enhance security performance in cooperative radio communication networks under wiretap channel

Le Tien Thuong, Ngoc Tuan Pham, Doan Quang Huy Thieu +1 more

In this paper, we investigate the physical layer security technique of a cooperative communication network with a source node having multiple transmitting antennas, in which these antennas provide the most optimal antenna to increase security performance to a destination node via a relay node in the presence of an eavesdropper node. Here, we propose and analyze a transmission antenna selection (TAS) solution to enhance security performance in the eavesdropping channel, the cooperative communication model between the source node including multiple transmitting antennas and a destination node through a relay node and the influence of the eavesdropping node. The secrecy performance is exactly evaluated based on the secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the main channel compared to the eavesdropping channel in the Rayleigh fading channels. Monte-Carlo simulation method is applied to verify simulations and theoretical analysis results in the proposed model. The results show that when using such multiple transmit antennas significantly enhanced the system's security performance.

Secrecy Analysis on Half-Duplex Two-Way Relay Transmission UsingVarious Transmission Channels and Jamming Strategies

Mohammed Ahmed Salem, Azlan Bin Abd.Aziz, Mohamad Yusoff Alias +2 more

The open nature of the wireless networks makes them vulnerable to the eavesdropper attacks. Cooperative relay transmission is a popular method to prevent the attacks of the illegal nodes. This research proposes a cooperative jamming protocol to enhance the physical layer in wireless cooperative networks, where the destination sends a jamming signal to the eavesdropper node to degrade its channel capacity. Simulations of the secrecy performance metrics in terms of the secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability are presented and discussed to measure the security level of the proposed jamming protocol. In this paper, different channels namely Rician fading, Rayleigh fading, and Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels are investigated in the half-duplex two-way relaying system to obtain the maximum secrecy performance. Based on the results, the highest secrecy capacity is achieved by using the Rician fading channel for transmission from the source to the destination and using the Rayleigh channel as the jamming link to degrade the eavesdropper capacity.

Ergodic secrecy capacity analysis for cooperative communication with relay selection under non-identical distribution

Esa R. Alotaibi, Khairi Ashour Hamdi

In this paper, ergodic secrecy capacity is analyzed in a cooperative communication network, for an independent but non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d) Rayleigh fading channel. By using multi-trusted decode and forward relays, the model assumes direct links between a sender (Alice) and receiver nodes (Bob and an eavesdropper); in addition both Alice and the relay have perfect knowledge about the eavesdropper's channel state information (CSI). The protocol employed herein selects the best relay with the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in relation to the destination (Bob), while maximum ratio combining (MRC) is employed at Bob and the eavesdropper's terminals. Finally, the theoretical analysis is validated through simulation, and the results show that performance is enhanced with an increasing number of relays, in the event of a direct link between the sender and the receiver's terminals.
