This paper investigates secure communications of energy harvesting untrusted relay networks, where the destination assists jamming signal to prevent the untrusted relay from eavesdropping and to improve the forwarding ability of the energy constrained relay. Firstly, the source and the destination transmit the signals to the relay with maximal ratio transmission (MRT) technique or transmit antenna selection (TAS) technique. Then, the destination utilizes maximal ratio combining (MRC) technique or receive antenna selection (RAS) technique to receive the forwarded information. Therefore, four transmission and reception schemes are considered. For each scheme, the closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and the connection outage probability (COP) are derived. Besides, the effective secrecy throughput (EST) metric is analyzed to achieve a good tradeoff between security and reliability. In addition, the asymptotic performance of EST is also considered at the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Finally, simulation results illustrate that: (1) the EST of the system with MRT and MRC scheme are superior to other schemes, however, in the high SNR regime, the EST of the system with MRT scheme is inferior to TAS; and (2) for the source node, there exists an optimal number of antennas to maximize the EST of the proposed schemes.

This paper studies the transmit antenna selection based on machine learning (ML) schemes in untrusted relay networks. First, we state the conventional antenna selection scheme. Then, we implement three ML schemes, namely, the support vector machine-based scheme, the naive-Bayes-based scheme, and the k-nearest neighbors-based scheme, which are applied to select the best antenna with the highest secrecy rate. The simulation results are presented in terms of system secrecy rate and secrecy outage probability. From the simulation, we can conclude that the proposed ML-based antenna selection schemes can achieve the same performance without amplification at the relay, or small performance degradation with transmitted power constraint at the relay, comparing with conventional schemes. However, when the training is completed, the proposed schemes can perform the antenna selection with a small computational complexity.

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a hybrid scheme called transmit antenna selection and receiver’s artificial noise (TAS–rAN) for security enhancement in multiple-input single-output (MISO) wiretap channels. In this scheme, by using TAS protocol, the transmitter selects a single antenna that maximizes the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the full-duplex receiver. While the transmitter uses this antenna to transmit secrecy data, the full-duplex receiver would send artificial noise (AN) to confuse the potential eavesdropper. For the proposed protocol, we consider Rayleigh fading channels with different parameters for the main channel and the eavesdropper’s channel, and derive new closed-form expressions for the exact secrecy outage probability and the asymptotic secrecy outage probability. We demonstrate that the proposed TAS–

Abstract Secure transmission is essential for future non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system. This paper investigates relay-antenna selection (RAS) to enhance physical-layer security (PLS) of cooperative NOMA system in the presence of an eavesdropper, where multiple antennas are deployed at the relays, the users, and the eavesdropper. In order to reduce expense on radio frequency (RF) chains, selection combining (SC) is employed at both the relays and the users, whilst the eavesdropper employs either maximal-ratio combining (MRC) or selection combining (SC) to process the received signals. Under the condition that the channel state information (CSI) of the eavesdropping channel is available or unavailable, two e↵ective relay-antenna selection schemes are proposed. Additionally, the closed-form expressions of secrecy outage probability (SOP) are derived for the proposed relay-antenna selection schemes. In order to gain more deep insights on the derived results, the asymptotic performance of the derived SOP is analyzed. In simulations, it is demonstrated that the theoretical results match well with the simulation results and the SOP of the proposed schemes is less than that of the conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) scheme obviously.

In this paper, we study uplink-downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems by considering the secure performance at the physical layer. In the considered system model, the base station acts a relay to allow two users at the left side communicate with two users at the right side. By considering imperfect channel state information (CSI), the secure performance need be studied since an eavesdropper wants to overhear signals processed at the downlink. To provide secure performance metric, we derive exact expressions of secrecy outage probability (SOP) and and evaluating the impacts of main parameters on SOP metric. The important finding is that we can achieve the higher secrecy performance at high signal to noise ratio (SNR). Moreover, the numerical results demonstrate that the SOP tends to a constant at high SNR. Finally, our results show that the power allocation factors, target rates are main factors affecting to the secrecy performance of considered uplink-downlink NOMA systems.

This paper investigates the positive effect of severe Nakagami-mfading on the performance of multiuser transmit antenna selection/maximal-ratio combining (TAS/MRC) systems with high selection gain. Both amount of fading (AF) and symbol error rate (SER) ofM-QAM are derived as closed-form expressions for integerm. For arbitrarym, the AF and the SER are expressible as a single infinite series of Gamma function and Gauss hypergeometric function, respectively. The analytical results lead to the following observations. First, the SER performance can demonstrate the positive effect of severe Nakagami-mfading on multiuser TAS/MRC systems with high selection gain. Second, the AF performance only exhibits the negative impact of severe fading regardless of high selection gain. Last, the benefit of severe fading to the system performance diminishes at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
