Joint cooperative beamforming and artificial noise design for secure AF relay networks with energy-harvesting eavesdroppers

In this paper, we investigate physical layer security for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in amplify-and-forward relay networks. We propose a joint robust cooperative beamforming and artificial noise scheme for secure communication and efficient wireless energy transfer. Specifically, by treating the energy receiver as a potential eavesdropper and assuming that only imperfect channel state information can be obtained, we formulate an optimization problem to maximize the worst-case secrecy rate between the source and the legitimate information receiver under both the power constraint at the relays and the wireless power harvest constraint at the energy receiver. Since such a problem is non-convex and hard to tackle, we propose a two-level optimization approach which involves a one-dimensional search and semidefinite relaxation. Simulation results show that the proposed robust scheme achieves better worst-case secrecy rate performance than other schemes.

Robust joint beamforming and artificial noise design for secure AF relay networks

Chao Wang, Hui‐Ming Wang

This letter studies the secure cooperative transmission for an amplify-and-forward (AF) relay network in the presence of multiple multi-antenna eavesdroppers. Since the perfect channel state information (CSI) of the eavesdroppers are not available, we propose a robust joint distributed beamforming and artificial noise scheme to maximize the worst-case secrecy rate of the network, under the total power constraint of all the relay nodes. With the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) technique, the design can be solved by a one-dimension search which involves a sequence of semidefinite programming (SDP). Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed strategy.

Optimal joint cooperative beamforming and artificial noise design for secrecy rate maximization in AF relay networks

This paper studies cooperative secure transmission in wireless relay networks, where a source sends a confidential message to a legitimate destination through a set of amplify-and-forward (AF) relays in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers. To prevent the eavesdroppers from retrieving the message, we assume that the relays employ a joint cooperative beamforming (CB) and artificial noise (AN) strategy. Under both the total and individual relay power constraints, we propose an optimal joint CB-AN design based on secrecy rate maximization (SRM). We treat the SRM problem by a combination of two-level optimization and semidefinite relaxation (SDR). For the latter, we prove that SDR always has a rank-one solution for the SRM problem - which identifies that SDR is optimal. Simulation results are presented to show the efficacy of the proposed joint CB-AN design.
