Joint Power Splitting and Secure Beamforming Design in the Wireless-powered Untrusted Relay Networks
In this work, we maximize the secrecy rate of the wireless-powered untrusted
relay network by jointly designing power splitting (PS) ratio and relay
beamforming with the proposed global optimal algorithm (GOA) and local optimal
algorithm (LOA). Different from the literature, artificial noise (AN) sent by
the destination not only degrades the channel condition of the eavesdropper to
improve the secrecy rate, but also becomes a new source of energy powering the
untrusted relay based on PS. Hence, it is of high economic benefits and
efficiency to take advantage of AN compared with the literature. Simulation
results show that LOA can achieve satisfactory secrecy rate performance
compared with that of GOA, but with less computation time.Comment: Submitted to GlobeCom201

In particular, we focus on the relay selection, with the goal to guarantee the required performance in terms of capacity. In order to maximize the data throughput under the EH constraint, we model the transmission scheme as a non-transferable coalition formation game, with characteristic function based on an approximated capacity expression. Then, we introduce a powerful mathematical tool inherent to coalitional game theory, namely: the Shapley value (Sv) to provide a reliable solution concept to the game. The selected relays will form a virtual dynamically-configuredMIMO network that is able to transmit data to destination using efficient space-time coding techniques. Numerical results, obtained by simulating the EH-powered cooperativeMIMO-OFDMtransmission with Algebraic Space-Time Coding (ASTC), prove that the proposed coalitional game-based relay selection allows to achieve performance very close to that obtained by the same system operated by guaranteed power supply. The proposed methodology is finally compared with some recent related state-of-the-art techniques showing clear advantages in terms of link performance and goodput.Peer reviewe
