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
Implications for the U.S. of Anglo-French Defense Cooperation
The paper analyzes, from a predominantly UK perspective, the implications for
the U.S. of the November 2, 2010, Anglo-French Defence Cooperation Treaty. The
current pressures on British and French defence budgets were the primary driving
force behind this cooperative effort. London and Paris have made steps toward
improving joint efforts in a number of areas, with defence acquisition and
industrial cooperation being prominent. In the UK, there appears to be strong
political support at the highest levels, which has permeated to lower levels in
the bureaucracy, while the UK defence industry appears to be cautiously
optimistic about future business opportunities.
The impact of enhanced Anglo-French cooperation on the U.S. would appear to be
largely favourable for Washington. Rather than providing a basis for weakened UK
attention to the U.S., as some fear, the efforts by London and Paris will
potentially generate greater national military capability from scarce resources
and could serve as a vehicle for broader European efforts to enhance their
defence capabilities. While multinational European military development projects
are viewed with scepticism in the UK, the Anglo-French arrangement could
strengthen the prospects for bilateral projects in which other European states
may elect to participate
A Survey on Wireless Security: Technical Challenges, Recent Advances and Future Trends
This paper examines the security vulnerabilities and threats imposed by the
inherent open nature of wireless communications and to devise efficient defense
mechanisms for improving the wireless network security. We first summarize the
security requirements of wireless networks, including their authenticity,
confidentiality, integrity and availability issues. Next, a comprehensive
overview of security attacks encountered in wireless networks is presented in
view of the network protocol architecture, where the potential security threats
are discussed at each protocol layer. We also provide a survey of the existing
security protocols and algorithms that are adopted in the existing wireless
network standards, such as the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, and the long-term
evolution (LTE) systems. Then, we discuss the state-of-the-art in
physical-layer security, which is an emerging technique of securing the open
communications environment against eavesdropping attacks at the physical layer.
We also introduce the family of various jamming attacks and their
counter-measures, including the constant jammer, intermittent jammer, reactive
jammer, adaptive jammer and intelligent jammer. Additionally, we discuss the
integration of physical-layer security into existing authentication and
cryptography mechanisms for further securing wireless networks. Finally, some
technical challenges which remain unresolved at the time of writing are
summarized and the future trends in wireless security are discussed.Comment: 36 pages. Accepted to Appear in Proceedings of the IEEE, 201
