Abstract

In this paper, the secrecy performance from the perspective of secrecy outage probability(SOP) for a free space optical-radio frequency (FSO-RF) network with an amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying under the wiretapping of an eavesdropper is investigated. Specifically, a superimposed signal of two users is first transmitted from a source (S) to a relay (R) over an FSO link, and then converted by R into an electrical one and broadcasted to their corresponding users over the RF links, while an eavesdropper is overhearing this transmission. In addition, the information transmission in both hops is incorporated with a non-orthogonal multiple access technique. Assuming the FSO and the RF links undergo Gamma-Gamma fading and Nakagami-$m$fading respectively, the analytical expression for SOP is first obtained and then verified with simulation results.

Secrecy performance of mixed single-input multiple-output-FSO/single-input multiple-output-RF networks with energy harvesting

Wanxin He, Jiliang Zhang

In this paper, we study the secrecy performance of an energy-harvested relaying assisted free space optical-radio frequency (FSO-RF) network. In particular, a single-beam source sends an optical signal to a multi-aperture relay over an FSO channel, and then the relay converts it into an RF signal and adopts a decode-and-forward protocol to forward it to a multi-antenna destination under the wiretapping of a multi-antenna eavesdropper. We assume that the relay is power constrained, and it requires to harvest energy from a power beacon to assist the information transmission. It is also assumed that the FSO link and all RF links are subject to gamma-gamma fading with atmospheric turbulence and Rayleigh fading, respectively. Analytical expressions for secrecy outage probability (SOP) and the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity are derived. In addition, the asymptotic expression for SOP is obtained to present insight into secrecy performance at high signal-to-noise ratio regimes. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations verify the correctness of the theoretical derivations.

Secrecy Outage Probability Analysis of Dual-Hop RF-FSO Fixed-Gain Relaying System

Mohammad Javad Saber, Ahmad Keshavarz

We analyze the secrecy outage probability of a dual-hop radio frequency (RF)-free space optical (FSO) transmission systems. We assume that the eavesdropping occurs at the RF channel which experiences Nakagami-m fading while the FSO link suffers from Málaga turbulence-induced fading. More precisely, we derive an analytical expression for the lower bound of secrecy outage probability (SOP) to study the secrecy performance of dual-hop RF-FSO transmission system with the fixed-gain amplify-and-forward relaying protocol.

Secrecy Analysis for Multi-Relaying RF-FSO Systems With a Multi-Aperture Destination

In this paper, we investigate the physical layer security for an asymmetric dual-hop radio frequency-free space optical (RF-FSO) communication system, in which a source transmits information to a multi-aperture destination (D) through a best relay under the wiretapping of a multi-aperture eavesdropper (E). The best relay is selected by a partial relay selection scheme in terms of maximum instantaneous channel gain for the RF link. Moreover, equal gain combining scheme is also used to process the multiple copies of receiving signal at D and E. Assuming all the RF channels are subject to independent and identical distributed (i.i.d.) Nakagami-m fading and all the FSO channels are modeled by i.i.d. Gamma-Gamma process, the secrecy performance in terms of secrecy outage probability and the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity are studied, and the accuracy of the analytical results is verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.

Secrecy Outage Analysis of Mixed RF-FSO Systems With Channel Imperfection

Hongjiang Lei, Haolun Luo, Ki‐Hong Park +3 more

We analyze the secrecy outage performance of a mixed radio frequency-free space optical (RF-FSO) transmission system with imperfect channel state information (CSI). We deal with a single-input multiple-output wiretap model, where a base station (works as the relay) forwards the signal transmitted from a user (source) to a data center (works as the destination), while an eavesdropper wiretaps the confidential information by decoding the received signal. Both the relay and the eavesdropper are armed with multiple antennas, and maximal ratio combining scheme is utilized to improve the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The effects of imperfect CSI of the RF link and the FSO link, misalignment, detection schemes, and relaying schemes on the secrecy outage performance of mixed RF-FSO systems are studied. First, the cumulative distribution function and probability density function of FSO links with pointing error and two different detection technologies are derived. Then, we derive the closed-form expressions for the lower bound of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) with fixed-gain relaying and variable-gain relaying schemes. Furthermore, asymptotic results for the SOP are investigated by exploiting the unfolding of Meijer's G-function when the electrical SNR of FSO link approaches infinity. Finally, Monte Carlo simulation results are presented to corroborate the correctness of the analysis.

On Secrecy Analysis of DF Based Dual Hop Mixed RF-FSO Systems

In this paper, the secrecy performance of a mixed radio frequency-free space optical (RF-FSO) communication system that consists of a source (S), a relay (R), a destination (D), and an eavesdropper (E), is studied. In this system, it is assumed that the E can overhear the free space optical (FSO) link between R and D as it is close to D. It is further assumed that the radio frequency (RF) and FSO links experience Rayleigh and Gamma-Gamma fading, respectively. Considering atmospheric turbulence, pointing errors, two types of detection techniques, and decode-and-forward scheme, the closed-form expressions for the lower bound of secrecy outage probability and the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity are derived. Monte Carlo simulation results are also presented to validate the accuracy of the derivations.

On secrecy analysis of wireless-powered relaying FSO-RF systems

Jiliang Zhang, Wanxin He, Gaofeng Pan +1 more

We investigate the physical-layer security performance for a wireless-powered relaying mixed free-space optical-radio frequency (FSO-RF) system. In this system, a source transmits optical information to a relay (R), which decodes the received signal with a decode-and-forward protocol, converts it into an RF signal, and forwards it to a destination in the presence of an eavesdropper. Furthermore, we also assume that R has no extra power supply, and it only relies on harvesting energy from a power beacon to forward the information. Assuming that the FSO and all of the RF channels experience gamma-gamma and Rayleigh fading, the closed-form analytical expressions for secrecy outage probability and the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity are derived. In addition, the effects of atmospheric turbulence, pointing errors, and detection techniques on the system performance are analyzed. Finally, we perform Monte Carlo simulations to verify the accuracy of the derived expressions.
