Abstract

In this paper, the secrecy outage probability (SOP) for the proposed secure decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative networks with non-linear energy harvester is investigated. The energy-constrained relays are considered and the harvested energy is described using a practical non-linear energy harvesting model, whose non-linear property is depicted by a piecewise linear model. On the premise of the harvested power satisfying its own consumption, the optimal dynamic power splitting (PS) factor is designed to maximize the power of the transmitted signal at relays. Then the relay that can maximize the secrecy capacity is selected to convey the information through relay selection scheme. The analytical results of the SOP for the proposed network with practice non-linear energy harvester are derived. The numerical results verify the theoretical analysis and show the superior performance compared to other counterparts under the different parameters.

Secrecy Performance Analysis of Energy Harvesting Aware Relaying Networks with Adaptive Power Splitting and Relay Selection Scheme

This paper investigates the physical layer secrecy performance of radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting (EH) relaying networks based on the combination of time switching-adaptive power splitting (TSAPS) and best relay selection (BRS) schemes. Specifically, the system consists of one source, one destination and multiple energy-constrained decode-and-forward (DF) relays which help the source transmit information to the destination, in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. In this setting, the relays harvest RF energy from the source signal to power their relaying transmission, in which power splitting ratio self-adjustment policy and best relay selection scheme are utilized. To characterize the secrecy performance, the exact closed-form expressions of secrecy outage probability for random relay selection and best relay selection are derived. In addition, the comparison to random relay selection is presented to verify the efficiency in terms of secrecy outage probability of the proposed protocol. Finally, the numerical and simulation results are also provided to evaluate the impact of the key parameters on the secrecy performance and confirm the correctness of our analysis.

Secrecy outage of a multi‐relay cooperative communication network with accumulation of harvesting energy at relays

Shashibhushan Sharma, Sanjay Dhar Roy, Sumit Kundu

Security of confidential data at the physical layer has been analysed in a network where the source sends the confidential data to the destination via multiple energy harvesting decode and forward relays in the presence of a single eavesdropper (EAV). In this two‐hop communication, the first hop is broadcasting hop when the source sends the information signal to relay and other is the relaying hop when a selected relay forwards the information signal as well as transmits a jamming signal to destination and EAV. Each relay has the two batteries; one for accumulating the harvested energy and the other for power supply to relays for relay operation over a number of frames until the accumulated harvested energy becomes sufficient. In the broadcasting hop, relays harvest energy using a power splitting ratio scheme and accumulate the harvested energy in the battery over a number of communication frames. The performance is analysed in the form of secrecy outage probability (SOP) when the relay uses only the harvested energy to forward the signal. A closed‐form analytical expression for the SOP is derived. MATLAB‐based simulation results match well with the analytical results.

Secrecy Outage of an Energy Harvesting Multi-relay Network with Multiple-antenna

Shashibhushan Sharma, Sanjay Dhar Roy, Sumit Kundu

Abstract Secrecy performance of a cooperative communication network is analyzed in which source transmits information to a destination via multiple relays, assisted with multiple antennas, where an eavesdropper is able to eavesdrop the information signal from relay only. The direct link does not exist between source and destination due to deep fading and shadowing effect and transmission of a signal from source to destination is completed in two phases; first is the broadcasting phase and other is the relaying phase. Each relay follows decode and forward protocol and receives the information signal with multiple antennas. A selected relay harvests energy from received multiple signals through multiple antennas. Both information and jamming signals are transmitted by the selected antenna of a selected relay. It has been seen that a selected relay harvests energy 0.3706 joule with an array of 5 antennas when the source transmits the information signal with 5 dBW power. We have also observed that the performance increased by 99.24% in case of an array four antennas system with respect to an array of two antennas system when secrecy threshold is 1 bit/s/Hz . Secrecy performance is measured in terms of secrecy outage probability (SOP). A closed-form expression of the SOP is derived to analyze the secrecy performance which is verified by the simulation results.

On Secure Wireless Sensor Networks With Cooperative Energy Harvesting Relaying

In this paper, we investigate the physical layer security (PLS) of a wireless sensor network (WSN) that consists of a base station (BS), multiple sensor nodes (SNs), and multiple energy-limited relays (ERs) in the presence of a passive eavesdropper (EAV). We adopt a time-switching/power-splitting (TSPS) mechanism for information transmission. The communication protocol is divided into two phases. The purpose of the first phase is to decode information, and energy harvesting (EH) is performed in accordance with the TSPS protocol. The purpose of the second phase is to transmit information to multiple destinations using the amplify-and-forward (AF) technique. In this study, we introduce a multirelay cooperative scheme (MRCS) to improve the secrecy performance. We derive analytical expressions for the secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the MRCS and that of the noncooperative relay scheme (NCRS) by using the statistical characteristics of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Specifically, we propose an optimal relay selection scheme to guarantee the security of the system for the MRCS. In addition, Monte Carlo simulation results are presented to confirm the accuracy of our analysis based on simulations of the secrecy performance under various system parameters, such as the positions and number of ERs, the EH time, and the EH efficiency coefficients. Finally, the simulation results show that the secrecy performance of our MRCS is higher than that of the NCRS and the traditional cooperative relay scheme (TCRS).

Secrecy Outage Probability in Backscatter Communication Systems With Tag Selection

Yingting Liu, Yinghui Ye, Rose Qingyang Hu

In this letter, we propose a tag selection scheme to enhance the security transmission in a passive backscatter communication system with multiple tags and one eavesdropper, and analyze the secrecy outage probability (SOP). In particular, considering a practical non-linear energy harvesting model, we first determine the optimal dynamic reflection coefficient to maximize the power of the backscattered signal while satisfying the energy-causality constraint of tags, and then select the tag that can maximize the instantaneous secrecy capacity. The closed-form analytical expression of the SOP corresponding to the proposed tag selection scheme over the independent but not necessarily identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels is derived and the diversity gain is analyzed. Numerical simulations corroborate the theoretical analysis and exhibit the superior performance of the proposed scheme compared to other schemes.

Secrecy Analysis of SWIPT-Enabled Cooperative Networks With DF HPTSR Protocol

Festus Kehinde Ojo, Mohd Fadzli Mohd Salleh

The simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technology is recently used to sustain the lifetime of energy-constrained relay nodes in wireless cooperative networks. An example to achieve this technology is the hybridized power-time splitting-based relaying (HPTSR) protocol. However, the information security aspect of wireless cooperative networks is important and needs adequate attention. In this paper, we perform the secrecy analysis of a SWIPT-enabled cooperative network with source–relay link-based decode-and-forward HPTSR protocol, which can enhance the operational lifetime of the relay nodes and the secrecy performance of the entire cooperative network. Specifically, we examine the secrecy performance of the considered network by deriving the analytical expressions for the near-optimal power splitting factor, secrecy outage probability, and secure energy efficiency of the system. All analytical results are confirmed by numerical simulations. Our results show that the SWIPT-enabled cooperative network outperforms the conventional relaying scheme-based network presented in literature at relatively high signal-to-noise ratios.
