Abstract

Physical layer security of a composite network, which includes both the uplink and downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system, has been analyzed. In this network, the relay is working as interface between the uplink and downlink NOMA system. Due to deep fading and shadowing, two legitimate destinations and the eavesdropper (EAV) are able to receive the information signals from the relay only. We have considered a scenario at the relay in which the relay decodes the strongest signal first when it does not know the transmit power of the information signals. To secure the confidential information, the jammer has been considered to secure the information from the EAV. For the considered model, the secrecy outage probability is analyzed as a performance metric using MATLAB based simulation. The optimal value of the relay transmit signal to noise ratio and the worst value of the transmit signal to noise ratio of the source one is indicated.

Secrecy at Physical Layer in NOMA with Cooperative Jamming

Shashibhushan Sharma, Sanjay Dhar Roy, Sumit Kundu

We have proposed and analyzed secrecy performance of a network architecture which contains a source, two destinations, a friendly jammer (FJ) and an eavesdropper (Eve). To jam the Eve in order to secure the confidential information of both users, the FJ sends a jamming signal while the source sends the combined information signal using non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique to both the users. A known jamming is considered which is known by both the users. Both the users subtract the known jamming from the received signal and then decode the information signal as per the NOMA technique. We analyzed the physical layer security of the network in terms of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) where the two users have different target secrecy rates. A closed form expression of the SOP is developed. We have analyzed the SOP under the impact of several numerical parameters such as: source transmit signal to noise ratio (SNR), FJ transmit SNR, fraction of source transmit power, and different target secrecy rates. For a fixed transmit SNR of the FJ, we obtain an optimal value of the source transmit SNR at which SOP is minimized. These analyzed results are also supported by the MATLAB based simulation results.

Exact secure outage probability performance of uplinkdownlink multiple access network under imperfect CSI

Dinh‐Thuan Do, Minh‐Sang Van Nguyen

In this paper, we study uplink-downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems by considering the secure performance at the physical layer. In the considered system model, the base station acts a relay to allow two users at the left side communicate with two users at the right side. By considering imperfect channel state information (CSI), the secure performance need be studied since an eavesdropper wants to overhear signals processed at the downlink. To provide secure performance metric, we derive exact expressions of secrecy outage probability (SOP) and and evaluating the impacts of main parameters on SOP metric. The important finding is that we can achieve the higher secrecy performance at high signal to noise ratio (SNR). Moreover, the numerical results demonstrate that the SOP tends to a constant at high SNR. Finally, our results show that the power allocation factors, target rates are main factors affecting to the secrecy performance of considered uplink-downlink NOMA systems.

Secrecy Performance of NOMA-Based Two-Way Communication System at Physical Layer

Shashibhushan Sharma, Kounteya Sarkar, Sudip Misra

Abstract This paper examines physical layer security in a NOMA-based two-way wireless communication system with several decode-and-forward relays and a malicious eavesdropper. We implement a partial relay selection system to maximize the secrecy capacity of a specific user's information signal. Two hops are involved in the communication process because of the half-duplex relay cooperation. A selected relay receives information from two users. The relay strengthens the signals and broadcasts them during the second hop. Additionally, a jammer transmits a jamming signal that is known to all legitimate nodes but appears as noise with the received signals at the eavesdropper. Since legitimate user nodes are already aware of the jamming signal, channel status information, and self-information, they can decode the original information in downlink mode by self-interference and successive interference cancellation. Secrecy outage probability, intercept probability, and secrecy throughput have been investigated as metrics to analyze the security, where the secrecy performance of a particular user is found to increase by $94.66\, \%$ with an increment in transmit SNR of jamming from $60\, dB$ to $70\, dB$ and increases by $90.78\, \%$ with an increment in the number of relays from 2 to 5.

Secrecy performance of an uplink-downlink cooperative PD-NOMA DF network in PLS

Thi Anh Le, H. Y. KONG

In this paper, we investigate the secrecy performance of an uplink-downlink power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA) system with imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) in physical layer security (PLS). In the proposed system, two source users (SUs) communicate with two destination users (DUs) with the help of a cluster of multi-relay nodes using the decode-and-forward (DF) protocol in the presence of multi-eavesdroppers. These eavesdroppers try to overhear the wireless signal around the DUs. In our system, the selected DF-relay node also works as a jammer to improve security and protect confidential information from multi-eavesdroppers. In this role, the DF-relay node generates a jamming signal, creating artificial interference to reduce the quality of the eavesdropping channels. To evaluate the secrecy performance of the system, we derived the analytical expressions of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) for both DUs using three relay selection strategies over Rayleigh fading channels and used Monte Carlo simulations to confirm the accuracy of our calculations. Furthermore, we examined the effects of system parameters such as the number of eavesdroppers and DF relaying nodes, the power allocation, SIC performance, the position of eavesdropper on the SOP of the two DUs. We compared the performance of our proposed NOMA system with those of conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) schemes.

Jamming-Aided Secrecy Performance in Secure Uplink NOMA System

Kaiwei Jiang, Weihua Zhou, Lingjie Sun

A novel secrecy scenario of uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) along with cooperative jammer(s) to improve secrecy performance is studied in this work. We first characterize secrecy performance in terms of positive secrecy rate probability, secrecy outage probability (SOP) and effective secrecy throughput (EST), and derive the closed-expressions of individual secrecy performance. The analytical results not only show an improvement on secrecy performance with the aid of cooperative jamming, but also clearly illustrate how each jammer affects the secrecy performance. We then continue the study of the individual secrecy performance for its asymptotic behaviors, and reveal it is only dependent on its relative distance to the eavesdropper over the desired receiver in a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. Finally, the maximization of overall secrecy performance is covered by investigating two optimization problems: 1) optimal selection of jammer(s) under the same transmit power; 2) optimal power allocation to each transmitter, including jammers, under the constraint of limited total transmit power. The solutions to these two problems are presented and demonstrated by an appropriate case.

Secrecy Performance Analysis of Cooperative NOMA Networks With Active Protection under α - μ Fading

Tung Pham Huu, Van Nhan Vo, Hung Tran +2 more

In this paper, we analyze the secrecy performance of a cooperative communication wireless system using nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) over α - μ fading channel. A new cooperative NOMA scheme is proposed to protect the confidential communication that is transmitted from a source to two users by the help of a relay under the monitoring of an eavesdropper (EAV). In particular, the legitimate user generates jamming signals to the EAV while the source transmits the signals to the relay and the source sends jamming signals to the EAV while the relay forwards the signals to the users. In order to evaluate the secrecy performance, the physical layer security (PLS) in term of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) for the active protection scheme (APS) is investigated and compared to that for a benchmark non-protection scheme (NPS). Simulation results show that the APS can effectively enhance the secrecy performance.
