Optimal Relay Selection for Physical-Layer Security in Cooperative Wireless Networks

Relay and jammer selection schemes for improving physical layer security in two-way cooperative networks

This paper is concerned with the relay and jammers selection in two-way cooperative networks to improve their physical layer security. Three different categories of selection schemes are proposed which are; selection schemes without jamming, selection schemes with conventional jamming and selection schemes with controlled jamming. The selection process is analyzed for two different network mode...

Buffer-Aided Relay Selection Algorithms for Physical-Layer Security in Wireless Networks

In this work, we consider the use of buffer-aided relays, linear precoding techniques and multiple antennas for physical-layer security in wireless networks. We develop relay selection algorithms to improve the secrecy-rate performance of cooperative multi-user multiple-antenna wireless networks. In particular, we propose a novel finite buffer-aided relay selection algorithm that employs the ma...

Optimal Beamforming for Physical Layer Security in MISO Wireless Networks

A wireless network of multiple transmitter-user pairs overheard by an eavesdropper, where the transmitters are equipped with multiple antennas while the users and eavesdropper are equipped with a single antenna, is considered. At different levels of wireless channel knowledge, the problem of interest is beamforming to optimize the users’ quality-of-service (QoS) in terms of their secrecy throug...

Enhancing Physical Layer Security in Wireless Networks with Cooperative Approaches

Motivated by recent developments in wireless communication, this thesis aims to characterize the secrecy performance in several types of typical wireless networks. Advanced techniques are designed and evaluated to enhance physical layer security in these networks with realistic assumptions, such as signal propagation loss, random node distribution and non-instantaneous channel state information...
