Joint Optimization of Power Splitting and Beamforming in Energy Harvesting Cooperative Networks

A new joint best relay and jammer selection (JBRJS) scheme is conceived for enhancing the physical layer security (PLS) of cooperative networks relying on multiple energy harvesting (EH) aided intermediate nodes, which accumulate energy based on the power splitting (PS) protocol. Specifically, we select the best intermediate node as the relay, whilst exploiting all the remaining nodes as friendly jammers. Furthermore, we investigate the joint optimization of the PS ratio and the relay-aided beamforming for maximizing the system's secrecy rate and present a full channel state information (CSI) based joint PS and beamforming (fJPSB) scheme as the optimal solution by converting the optimization problem formulated into a singlevariable optimization problem. We also propose a partial-CSI based JPSB (pJPSB) method for the scenario where only the main link's CSI is available. Our numerical results show that the proposed JBRJS scheme beneficially enhances the PLS compared to the joint random relay and jammer selection (JRRJS) and to the pure best relay selection (PBRS) schemes. Moreover, the secrecy rate of the proposed fJPSB and pJPSB schemes is obviously higher than that of the fixed PS and beamforming (FPSB) method, and it further increases with the number of the relay's transmit antennas.

Physical Layer Security in Two-Way SWIPT Relay Networks with Imperfect CSI and a Friendly Jammer

Maymoona Hayajneh, Thomas Aaron Gulliver

In this paper, the security of two-way relay communications in the presence of a passive eavesdropper is investigated. Two users communicate via a relay that depends solely on energy harvesting to amplify and forward the received signals. Time switching is employed at the relay to harvest energy and obtain user information. A friendly jammer is utilized to hinder the eavesdropping from wiretapping the information signal. The eavesdropper employs maximal ratio combining and selection combining to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the wiretapped signals. Geometric programming (GP) is used to maximize the secrecy capacity of the system by jointly optimizing the time switching ratio of the relay and transmit power of the two users and jammer. The impact of imperfect channel state information at the eavesdropper for the links between the eavesdropper and the other nodes is determined. Further, the secrecy capacity when the jamming signal is not perfectly cancelled at the relay is examined. The secrecy capacity is shown to be greater with a jammer compared to the case without a jammer. The effect of the relay, jammer, and eavesdropper locations on the secrecy capacity is also studied. It is shown that the secrecy capacity is greatest when the relay is at the midpoint between the users. The closer the jammer is to the eavesdropper, the higher the secrecy capacity as the shorter distance decreases the signal-to-noise ratio of the jammer.

Power-Constrained Secrecy Rate Maximization for Joint Relay and Jammer Selection Assisted Wireless Networks

Haiyan Guo, Zhen Yang, Linghua Zhang +2 more

In this paper, we examine the physical layer security for cooperative wireless networks with multiple intermediate nodes, where the decode-and-forward protocol is considered. We propose a new joint relay and jammer selection (JRJS) scheme for protecting wireless communications against eavesdropping, where an intermediate node is selected as the relay for the sake of forwarding the source signal to the destination and meanwhile, the remaining intermediate nodes are employed to act as friendly jammers, which broadcast the artificial noise for disturbing the eavesdropper. We further investigate the power allocation among the source, relay and friendly jammers for maximizing the secrecy rate of proposed JRJS scheme, and derive a closed-form sub-optimal solution. Specifically, all the intermediate nodes, which successfully decode the source signal, are considered as relay candidates. For each candidate, we derive the sub-optimal closed-form power allocation solution and obtain the secrecy rate result of the corresponding JRJS scheme. Then, the candidate, which is capable of achieving the highest secrecy rate, is selected as the relay. Two assumptions about the channel state information (CSI), namely the full CSI (FCSI) and partial CSI (PCSI), are considered. Simulation results show that the proposed JRJS scheme outperforms the conventional pure relay selection, pure jamming, and generalized singular-value-decomposition-based beamforming schemes in terms of secrecy rate. Additionally, the proposed FCSI-based power allocation and PCSI-based power allocation schemes both achieve higher secrecy rates than the equal power allocation scheme.
