Abstract

To improve physical (PHY) layer security of a wireless relay system in the presence of an eavesdropper, a two-phase cooperative relaying scheme is investigated in this paper. In phase I, the source transmits confidential message, simultaneously, it cooperates with the friendly jammers and destination to create jamming signal at the eavesdropper without affecting the forwarding relay which is preselected. In phase II, the forwarding relay retransmits the decoded signal, meanwhile, the particular relay cooperates with the friendly jammers to create jamming signal at the eavesdropper without affecting the destination. We focus on the investigation of optimal power allocation for maximizing achievable secrecy rate subject to a total power constraint. Optimal relay selection and suboptimal relay selection schemes are also proposed. It is shown that as the number of relays increases, both secrecy rate and the performance of suboptimal relay selection scheme improve significantly. Numerical results are presented to validate the derived analytical results and compare them to existing work.
