Secrecy Energy Efficiency of MIMOME Wiretap Channels with Full-Duplex Jamming
Full-duplex (FD) jamming transceivers are recently shown to enhance the
information security of wireless communication systems by simultaneously
transmitting artificial noise (AN) while receiving information. In this work,
we investigate if FD jamming can also improve the systems secrecy energy
efficiency (SEE) in terms of securely communicated bits-per- Joule, when
considering the additional power used for jamming and self-interference (SI)
cancellation. Moreover, the degrading effect of the residual SI is also taken
into account. In this regard, we formulate a set of SEE maximization problems
for a FD multiple-input-multiple-output multiple-antenna eavesdropper (MIMOME)
wiretap channel, considering both cases where exact or statistical channel
state information (CSI) is available. Due to the intractable problem structure,
we propose iterative solutions in each case with a proven convergence to a
stationary point. Numerical simulations indicate only a marginal SEE gain,
through the utilization of FD jamming, for a wide range of system conditions.
However, when SI can efficiently be mitigated, the observed gain is
considerable for scenarios with a small distance between the FD node and the
eavesdropper, a high Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or for a bidirectional FD
communication setup.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Communication
Full-Duplex Relay with Jamming Protocol for Improving Physical-Layer Security
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
\textit{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 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.Comment: PIMRC 201
Physical layer security jamming : Theoretical limits and practical designs in wireless networks
Physical layer security has been recently recognized as a promising new
design paradigm to provide security in wireless networks. In addition to the
existing conventional cryptographic methods, physical layer security exploits
the dynamics of fading channels to enhance secured wireless links. In this
approach, jamming plays a key role by generating noise signals to confuse the
potential eavesdroppers, and significantly improves quality and reliability of
secure communications between legitimate terminals. This article presents
theoretical limits and practical designs of jamming approaches for physical
layer security. In particular, the theoretical limits explore the achievable
secrecy rates of user cooperation based jamming whilst the centralized, and
game theoretic based precoding techniques are reviewed for practical
implementations. In addition, the emerging wireless energy harvesting
techniques are exploited to harvest the required energy to transmit jamming
signals. Future directions of these approaches, and the associated research
challenges are also briefly outlined
Cooperative Jamming for Secure Communications in MIMO Relay Networks
Secure communications can be impeded by eavesdroppers in conventional relay
systems. This paper proposes cooperative jamming strategies for two-hop relay
networks where the eavesdropper can wiretap the relay channels in both hops. In
these approaches, the normally inactive nodes in the relay network can be used
as cooperative jamming sources to confuse the eavesdropper. Linear precoding
schemes are investigated for two scenarios where single or multiple data
streams are transmitted via a decode-and-forward (DF) relay, under the
assumption that global channel state information (CSI) is available. For the
case of single data stream transmission, we derive closed-form jamming
beamformers and the corresponding optimal power allocation. Generalized
singular value decomposition (GSVD)-based secure relaying schemes are proposed
for the transmission of multiple data streams. The optimal power allocation is
found for the GSVD relaying scheme via geometric programming. Based on this
result, a GSVD-based cooperative jamming scheme is proposed that shows
significant improvement in terms of secrecy rate compared to the approach
without jamming. Furthermore, the case involving an eavesdropper with unknown
CSI is also investigated in this paper. Simulation results show that the
secrecy rate is dramatically increased when inactive nodes in the relay network
participate in cooperative jamming.Comment: 30 pages, 7 figures, to appear in IEEE Transactions on Signal
