Abstract

Cooperative communication is an emerging method that allows devices with a single antenna to share their antennas and assist other nodes in transmitting signals. This leads to enhanced spatial diversity, lower power consumption, and increased reliability of signal reception. This study uses full-duplex mode and $\alpha-\mu$ fading channels and derives the secrecy outage probability for a single relay to assess the system’s secrecy performance and examine how utilizing jamming signals affects system security. Theoretical results for the derived expression are given.

Unlocking physical-layer security in cooperative wireless networks with multiple relays in α − μ fading environments

Ayam Saddouq, Mamoun F. Al‐Mistarihi, Mahmoud A. Khodeir +1 more

Abstract Cooperative communication has emerged as a pivotal innovation in wireless networks, allowing multiple sites with single antennas to collaborate in signal transmission, thereby improving power efficiency, enhancing spatial diversity, and increasing the reliability of signal reception. This paper introduces a cooperative communication system comprising two communicating nodes, multiple relays, and an eavesdropper. The eavesdropper attempts to intercept the signals transmitted between the two nodes. To mitigate this threat, a jamming signal is employed as artificial interference, degrading the quality of the wiretap channel and preventing the eavesdropper from successfully acquiring the transmitted data, thereby enhancing system security. The $$\alpha -\mu$$ α - μ fading distribution is utilized as a generalized model for wireless channel fading. The system model is analyzed, and closed-form expressions for secrecy outage probability are derived for single-relay and the asymptotic secrecy outage probability is derived for multiple-relay scenarios, and finally the probability of the correct computation of the secrecy packets is evaluated. Analytical results are provided to substantiate the theoretical outcomes.

Secrecy Analysis on Half-Duplex Two-Way Relay Transmission UsingVarious Transmission Channels and Jamming Strategies

Mohammed Ahmed Salem, Azlan Bin Abd.Aziz, Mohamad Yusoff Alias +2 more

The open nature of the wireless networks makes them vulnerable to the eavesdropper attacks. Cooperative relay transmission is a popular method to prevent the attacks of the illegal nodes. This research proposes a cooperative jamming protocol to enhance the physical layer in wireless cooperative networks, where the destination sends a jamming signal to the eavesdropper node to degrade its channel capacity. Simulations of the secrecy performance metrics in terms of the secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability are presented and discussed to measure the security level of the proposed jamming protocol. In this paper, different channels namely Rician fading, Rayleigh fading, and Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels are investigated in the half-duplex two-way relaying system to obtain the maximum secrecy performance. Based on the results, the highest secrecy capacity is achieved by using the Rician fading channel for transmission from the source to the destination and using the Rayleigh channel as the jamming link to degrade the eavesdropper capacity.

Secrecy Enhancing in Wireless Communication with a Full-Duplexing at the Receiver

Lukman Abiodun Olawoyin, Yue Wu, Hongwen Yang +2 more

Information secrecy is achievable in a broadcast wireless communication system when the adversary channel witness a greater disruption as against the main channel. The secrecy level need to be enhanced as the adversary terminal can use advance method to eaves drop the hidden message being exchanged between the two legitimate communicating partners. The use of relay- assisted node in information-theoretic approach at the physical layer security has been widely researched into but they are mostly operate in a half-duplex mode (HD). With the advancement in electronic technology, the use of a single antenna in full duplex mode (FD) is possible. We explore this property in enhancing the security of a broadcast wireless system at the physical layer. In this work, the transmitter generates artificial noise (AN) while the legitimate receiver(LR) also transmits another jamming noise (JN) from its antenna to unintended receiver (UR) node. The effect of these multiple noises are examined on the secrecy capacity and probability outage capacity on the UR channel. Mathematical analysis and the numerical simulation results show improvement in channel secrecy capacity over the conventional approaches.

Optimal Relay Selection with a Full-Duplex Active Eavesdropper in Cooperative Wireless Networks

He Zhou, Dongxuan He, Hua Wang +1 more

In this paper, we investigate the physical layer security of a dual-hop cooperative network in the presence of a full-duplex active eavesdropper, which can overhear the confidential signals and transmit jamming signals simultaneously. We utilize the optimal relay selection scheme to improve the secrecy performance, where the relay maximizing the secrecy capacity will be selected to forward the information. To evaluate the secrecy performance of our system, we derive a compact closed-form expression of the secrecy outage probability. Besides, we also analyze the asymptotic performance related to the position of the nodes. Finally, we verify our analysis through the numerical results, and demonstrate that there exists a secrecy protection region where the secrecy outage probability is below a target probability.
