Abstract

Broadcasting in wireless channels causes security vulnerabilities since both the intended receiver and the eavesdropper may receive the information. Physical layer security (PLS) ensures the confidentiality of information transmitted wireless medium, even in the presence of eavesdroppers, without relying on cryptographic techniques implemented at higher layers. A PLS method for cooperative relay based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with optimal relay selection and power optimization is proposed. In order to increase the overall system’s secrecy rate, a hybrid relaying and water filling based optimal power allocation is performed for multi-relay assisted OFDM-based wireless networks. By changing the eavesdroppers’ distances, the performance efficiency of the proposed system is verified. The analysis is carried out for both Full Duplex (FD) and Half Duplex (HD) systems and their performances are compared with existing equal power allocation technique. The proposed method combines relay selection and novel power optimization process to improve secrecy rate than the existing power allocation methods for both HD and FD systems.

An overview of physical layer security enhancement techniques for full-duplex relay network

Sana Firoz Amin, Ajay Jadhav

The Basic concept of Physical Layer Security (PLS) is to the Transmission of Secured messages over a wireless channel without depending on higher-layer encryption in the presence of unwarranted eavesdroppers. PLS is a one simple option to complicated cryptography. To address the spectral efficiency (SE) loss caused by half-duplex, full-duplex (FD) has received a lot of attention When compared to HD, FD can almost double the SE. For upcoming 5G wireless networks, security is a major concern. As a result, study on Physical Layer security for multiuser networks is becoming increasingly important. Even so, two-hop FD Relay PLS Schemes had to be investigated.

Secrecy Performance on Half-Duplex Two-Way Multi-Relay Transmission Technique Under Wireless Physical Layer Security

The open broadcast nature of the wireless networks makes it vulnerable to the eavesdropper attacks. The physical layer security (PLS) is a grown research field that exploits the characteristics of the physical wireless channel to prevent the eavesdropper interruptions and attacks. The use of the cooperative relay transmission is a method to approach the physical layer security. This paper studies the secrecy performance metrics of the half-duplex two-way multi-relaying technique. A cooperative jamming protocol is proposed to enhance the physical layer security, where the destination sends jamming signals to the eavesdropper node to degrade its channel capacity. However, the relays can act as a jammer and send jamming signals to the eavesdropper node. Moreover, Simulations of the performance metrics namely the secrecy capacity (Cs) and the secrecy outage probability (SOP) applied on the technique are presented and discussed to measure the secrecy level of the proposed technique compared with an existing technique namely half-duplex one-way multi-relaying technique. Based on simulations and discussions the proposed technique outperforms the existing technique in term of secrecy performance.

Full-duplex relay for enhancing physical layer security in Wireless Sensor Networks: Optimal power allocation for minimizing secrecy outage probability

Wei Li, Kexiong Liu, Sixin Wang +3 more

In this paper, we address the physical layer security problem for Wireless Sensor Networks in the presence of passive eavesdroppers, i.e., the eavesdroppers' channels are unknown to the transmitter. We use a multi-antenna relay to guarantee physical layer security. Different from the existing work, we consider that the relay works in full duplex mode and transmits artificial noise (AN) in both stages of the decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative strategy. We proposed two optimal power allocation strategies for power constrained and power unconstrained systems respectively. For power constrained system, our aim is to minimize the secrecy rate outage probability. And for power unconstrained systems, we obtain the optimal power allocation to minimize the total power under the quality of service and secrecy constraints. We also consider the secrecy outage probability for different positions of eavesdropper. Simulation results are presented to show the performance of the proposed strategies.

Full-duplex relay with jamming protocol for improving physical-layer security

Saeedeh Parsaeefard, Tho Le‐Ngoc

This paper proposes a jointly cooperative relay and jamming protocol based on full-duplex (FD) capable relay to increase the source-destination secrecy rate in the presence of different types of eavesdroppers. In this so called FD-Relay with jamming (FDJ) protocol, the FD-Relay, first, simultaneously receives data and sends jamming to the eavesdropper, and, then, forwards the data, while the source jams the eavesdropper. Achievable secrecy rates of the proposed FDJ in the presence of different eavesdropper types and self-interference (SI) are derived and compared with those of the traditional half-duplex (HD) relay. The adaptive power allocation for secrecy rate maximization in a multi-carrier scenario for both proposed FDJ and HD-Relay is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem and corresponding iterative solution algorithm is developed using the difference-of-two-concave-functions (DC) programming technique. The simulation results confirm that FDJ offers significant improvements in the secrecy rate over the HD-Relay.

Improving Physical Layer Security of Cooperative NOMA System with Wireless-Powered Full-Duplex Relaying

Yuan Ren, Yixuan Tan, Meruyert Makhanbet +1 more

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and wireless energy harvesting are two promising technologies for improving spectral efficiency and energy efficiency, respectively. In this paper, we study the physical layer security of a wireless-powered full-duplex (FD) relay-aided cooperative NOMA system. In particular, the source is wiretapped by an eavesdropper, and the FD relay assists the transmission from the source to a near user and a far user with self-energy recycling. To enhance the security performance of the system, we propose an artificial noise (AN)-aided cooperative transmission scheme, in which the relay emits a jamming signal to confuse the eavesdropper while receiving the signal from the source. For the proposed scheme, the ergodic secrecy sum rate (ESSR) is derived to characterize the secrecy performance and a lower bound of ESSR is obtained. Finally, numerical results verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis of the proposed AN-aided secure transmission scheme. The superiority of the proposed scheme is also demonstrated since this scheme can achieve better secrecy performance, compared to the conventional cooperative NOMA scheme.

Secure robust resource allocation using full-duplex receivers

Mohammad Reza Abedi, Nader Mokari, Hamid Saeedi +1 more

This paper studies a robust resource allocation framework to enhance physical layer security where it is assumed that the system is equipped with a full-duplex (FD) receiver in contrast to conventional frameworks where a half-duplex (HD) receiver is at hand. Conventionally, relays are used as jammer to reduce the signal quality received by the eavesdroppers so as to increase the secrecy transmission rate between the legitimate transmitter and receiver. This is referred to as cooperative jamming (CJ). In a system equipped with a FD receiver, we propose to use the FD receiver as the jammer, i.e., the FD receiver simultaneously transmits jamming signals toward the eavesdropper while receiving data from the transmitter. The proposed scheme eliminates the need for external helpers, i.e., jamming relays which is welcome from practical point of view. We consider different scenarios to compare the proposed scheme against the CJ scheme in which, under a legitimate transmitter power constraint, optimal power allocation is obtained for each scenario to maximize the secrecy rate. To take into account the impact of imperfect state information of the channels between the eavesdropper and other nodes on the network, worst-case optimization approaches are considered. Simulation results demonstrate that for certain positions of the jamming relay and eavesdropper, the proposed system can outperform the conventional CJ schemes.
