本文研究了多天线放大转发双向中继系统中在满足源节点信噪比要求条件下最小化系统总功率的波束设计问题。该问题是非凸优化问题,为了有效求解该问题,采用分层优化方法将原问题分解成发送波束成形向量优化、接收波束成形向量优化和中继波束成形矩阵优化三类子问题。发送/接收波束成形向量通过求解Rayleigh商最小化问题来获得。中继波束成形矩阵优化问题通过半正定松弛方法转化成半正定优化问题来求解。在求解这三类优化问题的基础上,提出了一种迭代波束成形算法,并采用单调有界序列定理证明了所提算法的收敛性。计算机仿真表明:所提算法经过若干次迭代即可收敛到稳定点;相比于已有算法,本文算法能显著降低系统总功率。

Achievable rate region with secrecy constraints for secure communication in two‐way relay networks

In this paper, we consider a two‐way relay network consisted of two sources and multiple relays in the presence of an eavesdropper, where the cooperative beamforming strategy is applied to exploit the cooperative diversity to support the secure communication as illustrated in Figure 1. Naturally, we are interested in the beamforming strategy and power allocation to maximize the achievable sum secrecy rate. However, the corresponding problem is equivalent to solve a product of three correlated generalized Rayleigh quotients problem and difficult to solve in general. Because of the openness of wireless medium, the information rate leakage to the eavesdropper cannot be canceled perfectly. To some extent, ‘almost perfect secrecy’, where the rate leakage to the eavesdropper is limited, is more interesting from the practical point of view. In this case, we concern ourself mainly the achievable rate region for general case where the rate at the eavesdropper is regarded as the measurement of secrecy level. Two beamforming approaches, optimal beamforming and null space beamforming, are applied to investigate the achievable rate region with total power constraint and the rate constraint at the eavesdropper, which can be obtained by solving a sequence of the weighted sum inverse‐signal‐to‐noise‐ratio minimization (WSISM) problem. Because of the non‐convexity of WSISM problem, an alternating iteration algorithm is proposed to optimize the relay beamforming vector and two sources' transmit power, where two subproblems need to be solved in each iteration. Meanwhile, we provide the convergence analysis of proposed algorithm. Through the numerical simulations, we verify the effectiveness of proposed algorithm.

Successive relaying secure transmission scheme based on inter-relay interference cancellation

A secure scheme based on inter-relay interference cancellation was proposed to solve untrusted relay eavesdropping problem in successive relaying systems.First inter-relay interference between trusted relay and untrusted relay was exploited as artificial noise to degrade untrusted relay’s eavesdropping condition,then interference iterative cancellation was adapted to improve signal quality at legitimate user by making use of correlation between signals in time domain.Based on this,a quick power allocation algorithm aiming to minimize untrusted relay’s sum rate was proposed.Analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme suppress untrusted relay’s eavesdropping without loss of communication efficiency,a promotion of at least 2 bit·s^-1·Hz^-1in secrecy rate can be observed.     

Research on energy-efficient physical-layer secure transmission mechanism in decode-and-forward cooperative networks

The maximization problem of secure energy efficiency (EE) in decode-and-forward relay networks was investigated considering the power and energy constraints in physical-layer secure transmission.An iterative algorithm for power allocation was proposed based on fractional programming and DC (difference of convex functions) programming.This algorithm jointly allocated power for source and relay nodes to achieve energy-efficient secure transmission,subject to the peak power constraint of each node and the minimum secrecy rate requirement of the system.Simulation results demonstrate that the propose algorithm can improve the secure EE significantly compared with the conventional secrecy rate maximization strategy.     

Artificial noise–aided secure communication in a bidirectional relaying network

An artificial noise strategy is proposed for amplify‐and‐forward bi‐directional relay network where the eavesdropper can wiretap the relay channels in both hops. Artificial noise is used to confuse the eavesdropper and improve its secrecy. Specifically, the source and the relay are allowed to split their available transmit power into 2 parts: a useful information portion and a jamming portion to transmit a jamming signal. The mathematical model is established for 2‐way relay network with an eavesdropper. The secrecy rate achieved by using artificial jamming is derived from the above model. The optimal power allocation with individual power constraint is obtained via sequential quadratic programming to maximize the secrecy sum rate, and 2 special cases are investigated. Furthermore, the benchmark is provided for the purpose of performance comparison. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy can significantly improve the secrecy sum rate by using artificial noise to jam the eavesdropper.     

Antenna selection algorithm based on cut-off rate for secure spatial modulation with finite alphabet input

For the security transmission of artificial noise with finite alphabet inputs in secure spatial modulation system,an antenna selection algorithm based on cut-off rate (COR) was proposed.Considering that it was difficult to obtain the closed-form expression of the secrecy rate,the problem of maximizing the secrecy rate into that of maximizing the COR was converted by the algorithm.Meanwhile,in order to reduce the complexity,the COR algorithm was optimized by expanding the matrix norm in columns,which was corresponding to the problem of antenna combination.Finally,the artificial noise vector was mapped in the legitimate channel space to optimize secrecy rate,which only interferes with eavesdropper.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm based on COR is superior to the leakage-based algorithm and the maximum secrecy rate algorithm,and has lower complexity.
