Nelder‐Mead–based power optimization for secrecy enhancement in amplify‐and‐forward cooperative relay networks

Cooperative communication based on relaying nodes has been considered as a promising technique to increase the physical layer security (PLS) performance in wireless communications. In this paper, an optimal power allocation (OPA) scheme based on Nelder‐Mead (NM) algorithm is proposed for improving the secrecy rate of amplify‐and‐forward (AF) cooperative relay networks employing cooperative jamming (CJ) scheme. The proposed hybrid jamming scheme allows the source and selected relay to transmit the jamming signal along with the information to confound the eavesdropper. The path selection probability of ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is used for selecting the relay for transmission. The performance based on secrecy rate is evaluated for “n” trusted relays distributed dispersedly between the source and destination. Gradient‐based optimization and three‐dimensional exhaustive search methods are used as benchmark schemes for comparison of the proposed power optimization algorithm. The secrecy performance is also compared with conventional AF scheme and CJ scheme without power optimization (EPA). The impact of single and multiple relays on secrecy performance is also evaluated. Numerical results reveal that, compared with the gradient method and exhaustive search algorithm, the proposed power allocation strategy achieves optimal performance. Also, the derived OPA results show a significantly higher secrecy rate than the EPA strategy for both CJ and AF schemes.     

Distributed Relay Selection and Power Control for Multiuser Cooperative Communication Networks Using Stackelberg Game

The performance in cooperative communication depends on careful resource allocation such as relay selection and power control, but the traditional centralized resource allocation requires precise measurements of channel state information (CSI). In this paper, we propose a distributed game-theoretical framework over multiuser cooperative communication networks to achieve optimal relay selection and power allocation without knowledge of CSI. A two-level Stackelberg game is employed to jointly consider the benefits of the source node and the relay nodes in which the source node is modeled as a buyer and the relay nodes are modeled as sellers, respectively. The proposed approach not only helps the source find the relays at relatively better locations and "buy” an optimal amount of power from the relays, but also helps the competing relays maximize their own utilities by asking the optimal prices. The game is proved to converge to a unique optimal equilibrium. Moreover, the proposed resource allocation scheme with the distributed game can achieve comparable performance to that employing centralized schemes.     

基于中断概率的协作通信中继选择与功率分配算法

研究了功率受限情况下多中继协作通信网络的中继选择和功率优化问题。在AF网络中,提出了一种低复杂度中继选择与功率分配算法,其目标是在总功率一定的条件下使系统的中断概率最小。本算法对源节点和所有潜在中继节点进行功率分配,结合当前信噪比选择最优的中继集合,通过最速下降法求出使系统中断概率最低的功率分配因子。该算法不需要知道大量瞬时信道信息、不需要系统在等功率条件下进行中继选择,只需求得中继节点排列矩阵便可根据当前信噪比自适应获得最优中继节点集合。仿真结果表明,在相同条件下,该算法明显优于不同中继节点集合下几种算法的中断性能,并且与传统的SAF及AAF算法相比,有效降低了中断概率,提升了系统性能和功率效率。     

Power allocation-Assisted secrecy analysis for NOMA enabled cooperative network under multiple eavesdroppers

In this work, the secrecy of a typical wireless cooperative dual-hop non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-enabled decode-and-forward (DF) relay network is investigated with the impact of collaborative and non-collaborative eavesdropping. The system model consists of a source that broadcasts the multiplexed signal to two NOMA users via a DF relay, and information security against the eavesdropper nodes is provided by a helpful jammer. The performance metric is secrecy rate and ergodic secrecy capacity is approximated analytically. In addition, a differential evolution algorithm-based power allocation scheme is proposed to find the optimal power allocation factors for relay, jammer, and NOMA users by employing different jamming schemes. Furthermore, the secrecy rate analysis is validated at the NOMA users by adopting different jamming schemes such as without jamming (WJ) or conventional relaying, jamming (J), and with control jamming (CJ). Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of CJ over the J and WJ schemes. Finally, the proposed power allocation outperforms the fixed power allocation under all conditions considered in this work.     

基于信道统计特性的中继选择算法

该文提出了一种在非再生协作网络中,基于信道统计特性的最优中继选择方法。首先在等功率条件下,根据信道统计特性,定义一个等效信道增益的参数,该参数反映了中继节点在协作过程中两个阶段的信道特性。然后提出一种基于该参数的降序排列的中继选择方法。该方法在不同的信噪比范围内,选择不同的节点集合,使得系统的吞吐率中断概率最小。分析表明该选择方法的分集增益阶数能达到N+1,N为中继节点数目。仿真结果表明这种中继选择算法的中断概率性能优于其他算法。该方法进一步与功率分配相结合,构成了一种低复杂度的次优的中继选择方法。仿真结果表明这种次优算法能够取得和穷举算法相似的性能。     

A New Relay and Jammer Selection Schemes for Secure One-Way Cooperative Networks

This paper presents different relay and jammer selection schemes for one-way cooperative networks to increase the security against malicious eavesdroppers. We consider a single source-destination cooperative network with multiple intermediate nodes and one or more eavesdroppers. The selection in the proposed schemes is made with the presence of direct links and the assumption that the broadcast phase is unsecured. The proposed schemes select three intermediate nodes. The first selected node operates in the conventional relay mode and assists the source to deliver its data to the corresponding destination via a Decode-and-Forward strategy. The second and third selected nodes are used in different communication phases as jammers to create intentional interference at the eavesdroppers’ nodes. Moreover, a hybrid scheme which switches between jamming and non-jamming modes is introduced in this paper. The proposed schemes are analyzed in terms of ergodic secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability. Extensive analysis and a set of simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the different schemes presented in this work. The obtained results show that the proposed schemes with jamming outperform the conventional non-jamming schemes and the hybrid switching scheme further improves the secrecy capacity. The impact of changing both the eavesdroppers and the relays location on ergodic secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability is also discussed. Finally, the impact of the presence of multiple eavesdroppers is studied in this paper.     

Improving physical layer security via cooperative diversity in energy‐constrained cognitive radio networks with multiple eavesdroppers

In this paper, a scheme that exploits cooperative diversity of multiple relays to provide physical layer security against an eavesdropping attack is concerned. Relay‐based cognitive radio network (CRN) faces issues multiple issues other than the same as faced by conventional wireless communications. If the nodes in a CRN are able to harvest energy and then spend less energy than the total energy available, we can ensure a perpetual lifetime for the network. In this paper, an energy‐constrained CRN is considered where relay nodes are able to harvest energy. A cooperative diversity‐based relay and subchannel‐selection algorithm is proposed, which selects a relay and a subchannel to achieve the maximum secrecy rate while keeping the energy consumed under a certain limit. A transmission power factor is also selected by the algorithm, which ensures long‐term operation of the network. The power allocation problem at the selected relay and at the source also satisfies the maximum‐interference constraint with the primary user (PU). The proposed scheme is compared with a variant of the proposed scheme where the relays are assumed to have an infinite battery capacity (so maximum transmission power is available in every time slot) and is compared with a scheme that uses jamming for physical layer security. The simulation results show that the infinite battery‐capacity scheme outperforms the jamming‐based physical layer security scheme, thus validating that cooperative diversity‐based schemes are suitable to use when channel conditions are better employed, instead of jamming for physical layer security.     

Asymptotic performance analysis of untrusted relay system with full-duplex jamming destination

The cooperative relay technique in the field of physical layer security is widely concerned by the academic community,due to the advantages of increasing the network capacity and expanding the network coverage.However,cooperative relays may play as untrusted nodes in some certain circumstances.Based on this,to enhance the secrecy performance of untrusted relay systems,a novel full-duplex destination jamming (FDJ) scheme was proposed in the Rayleigh fading channel.In order to maximize the system’s secrecy capacity,a switchable split-optimal antenna selection (OAS) scheme was proposed for a multiple-antenna destination,the power allocation optimization scheme between the source and destination was designed,and the corresponding closed-form expressions of secrecy performance were given.In the large-scale antennas analysis,the closed-form expressions of the ergodic achievable secrecy rate and the optimal power allocation factor of instantaneous secrecy capacity for the FDJ-OAS scheme were derived.Furthermore,based on different asymptotic cases,the asymptotic analyses of secrecy outage probability for the FDJ-OAS scheme were significantly analyzed.Simulation results show that the analytical curves match well with the Monte-Carlo simulation results.It is concluded that the diversity order of the FDJ-OAS scheme is proportional to the number of antennas and antenna diversity can be achieved,which reveals the advantages of the proposed FDJ-OAS scheme.
