In this paper, we investigate physical layer security for multiple decode-and-forward (DF) relaying underlay cognitive radio networks (CRNs) with fixed transmit power at the secondary network against passive eavesdropping attacks. We propose a simple relay selection scheme to improve wireless transmission security based on the instantaneous channel information of all legitimate users and the statistical information about the eavesdropper channels. The closed-form expressions of the probability of non-zero secrecy capacity and the secrecy outage probability (SOP) are derived over independent and non-identically distributed Rayleigh fading environments. Furthermore, we conduct the asymptotic analysis to evaluate the secrecy diversity order performance and prove that full diversity is achieved by using the proposed relay selection. Finally, numerical results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis and depict that primary interference constrain has a significant impact on the secure performance and a proper transmit power for the second transmitters is preferred to be energy-efficient and improve the secure performance.

In this work, the secrecy of a typical wireless cooperative dual-hop non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-enabled decode-and-forward (DF) relay network is investigated with the impact of collaborative and non-collaborative eavesdropping. The system model consists of a source that broadcasts the multiplexed signal to two NOMA users via a DF relay, and information security against the eavesdropper nodes is provided by a helpful jammer. The performance metric is secrecy rate and ergodic secrecy capacity is approximated analytically. In addition, a differential evolution algorithm-based power allocation scheme is proposed to find the optimal power allocation factors for relay, jammer, and NOMA users by employing different jamming schemes. Furthermore, the secrecy rate analysis is validated at the NOMA users by adopting different jamming schemes such as without jamming (WJ) or conventional relaying, jamming (J), and with control jamming (CJ). Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of CJ over the J and WJ schemes. Finally, the proposed power allocation outperforms the fixed power allocation under all conditions considered in this work.

In this paper, we investigate the security performance for cooperative networks over Nakagami-m fading channels. Based on whether the channel state information (CSI) of wiretap link is available or not, optimal relay selection (ORS) and suboptimal relay selection (SRS) schemes are considered. Also, multiple relays combining (MRC) scheme is considered for comparison purpose. The exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions for secrecy outage probability (SOP) are derived and simulations are presented to validate the accuracy of our proposed analytical results. The numerical results illustrate that the ORS is the best scheme and SRS scheme is better than MRC scheme in some special scenarios such as when the destination is far away from the relays. Furthermore, through asymptotic analysis, we obtain the closed-form expressions for the secrecy diversity order and secrecy array gain for the three different selection schemes. The secrecy diversity order is closely related to the number of relays and fading parameter between relay and destination.

Nanotechnology has provided a set of tools that the engineers can use to design and manufacture integrated nano devices, which are capable of performing sensing, computing, data storing and actuation. One of the main hurdles for nano devices has been the amount of power that it can generate for transmission of data. In this paper, we proposed cooperative nano communication in the Terahertz (THz) Gap frequency band to increase the range of transmission. Outage probability (OP) performances for the proposed cooperative nano communication networks in the THz band (0.1 - 10THz) have been evaluated for the following scenarios; A) A single decode-and-forward (DF) relay over independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh fading channels, B) DF multi-relay network with best relay selection (BRS) over i.i.d. Rayleigh fading channels, and C) DF multi-relay network with multiple hops with BRS over i.i.d. Rayleigh fading channels. The results show that the transmission distance can be improved significantly by employing DF relays. Also, it is shown that by increasing the number of hops in a relay the OP performance is marginally degraded. The analytical results have been verified by Monte-Carlo simulation.

Decode and Forward (DF) 방식을 사용하는 OFDM 기반 Full Duplex Relay (FDR)에서는 주파수 영역에서의 궤환 간섭 제거 방식이 더욱 효율적이다. 그러나 OFDM 기반의 FDR에서 궤환 간섭 신호 제거 및 복조를 주파수 영역에서 수행하는 경우 궤환 간섭 신호와 기지국으로부터 전송된 신호의 시간동기 불일치에 의한 인접 심볼간 간섭 및 인접 부반송파 간섭이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 Synchronous 타입과 Asynchronous 타입의 OFDM 기반 FDR에서 시간 동기 불일치에 의한 영향을 하향링크와 상향링크에 대하여 분석한다. 주파수 영역 궤환 간섭 제거기를 갖는 FDR에서 간섭의 영향을 감소시킬 수 있는 동기화 절차와 기법을 제안하고, 모의실험을 통하여 그 성능을 확인한다.

적응형 협력 시스템은 송신단과 수신단, 릴레이와 수신단사이의 순시 신호 대 잡음비의 차이를 기반으로 동작한다. 특별히, 만약 송신단과 수신단사이의 채널 환경이 릴레이와 수신단사이의 채널 환경보다 좋다면 송신단은 송신단의 가용한 전력으로 수신단까지 신호를 전송한다. 그렇지않다면, 송신단은 첫번째 시간 슬롯에서는 보다 적은 전력으로 신호를 브로드캐스팅하며 두번째 시간 슬롯에서는 릴레이가 수신된 신호를 올바르게 복호할 경우에는 해당 신호를 다시 인코딩하여 목적지로 전송하며 올바르게 복호가 되지 않는다면 송신단은 나머지 전력으로 수신단까지 신호를 전송한다. 본 논문에서는 첫째로, 직접 전송과 협력 전송의 확률적 계산을 통하여 주파수 효율성을 수식적으로 이끌어내며 각 전송방식의 비트오류확률(BER) 수식을 고려하여 적응형 협력 기법의 비트오류확률(BER)을 계산한다. 마지막으로 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안하는 기법의 성능을 확인한다.

A resource allocation algorithm based on simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) to maximize the system throughput is proposed in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) relay networks. The algorithm formulates the problem under the peak power constraints of the source and each subcarrier (SC), and the energy causality constraint of the relay. With the given SC allocation of the source, we give and prove the optimal propositions of the formulated problem. Then, the formulated problem could be decomposed into two separate throughput maximization sub-problems by setting the total power to transfer energy. Finally, several SC allocation schemes are proposed, which are energy priority scheme, information priority scheme, balanced allocation scheme and exhaustive scheme. The simulation results reveal that the energy priority scheme can significantly reduce computational complexity and achieve approximate performance with the exhaustive scheme.

In this paper, we consider a two-way relay non-orthogonal multiple access (TWR-NOMA) system with residual hardware impairments (RHIs) and channel estimation errors (CEEs), where two group users exchange their information via the decode-and-forward (DF) relay by using NOMA protocol. To evaluate the performance of the considered system, exact analytical expressions for the outage probability of the two groups users are derived in closed-form. Moreover, the asymptotic outage behavior in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime is examined and the diversity order is derived and discussed. Numerical simulation results verify the accuracy of theoretical analyses, and show that: i) RHIs and CEEs have a deleterious effects on the outage probabilities; ii) CEEs have significant effects on the performance of the near user; iii) Due to the RHIs, CEEs, inter-group interference and intra-group interference, there exists error floors for the outage probability.

In this paper, we evaluate the outage performance of cooperative transmission in two-dimensional random networks. Firstly, we derive the joint distributions of the source-relay and the relay-destination links. Secondly, the outage probability for the decode-and-forward relaying system is derived when selection combining (SC) is employed at the destination. Finally, we calculate the average outage probability of the system and then attempt to express it by a simple approximate expression. The simulation results are presented to verify the accuracy of the derivations. Similar to deterministic networks, the cooperative transmission in random networks outperforms direct transmission at a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

본 논문에서는 CDD-DF-Relay 기법을 MC-CDMA 시스템에 대해 제안하고 제안된 기법의 성능을 다중경로 레일리 페이딩 채널에서 검증한다. 일반적인 DF-Relay 기법에서는 모든 Relay들이 직교 채널들로 신호를 전송하여야 하기 때문에 그 장점 즉, 다이버시티 이득은 주파수 효율의 저하로부터 얻어진다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 주파수 효율 저하의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 CDD 기법을 각 Relay 노드에 적용하여 모든 Relay가 하나의 채널만을 사용하도록 한다. 이는 Destination에서 바라본 하나의 R-D 링크 채널의 Delay Spread가 길어지는 효과를 갖는다. 즉 Relay 개수의 증가에 따라 다중 경로수가 증가됨을 의미하고, 이는 MC-CDMA 시스템에서 주파수 다이버시티 이득으로 해설될 수 있다. 모의실험에서는 일반적인 DF-Relay 기법과 제안된 CDD-DF-Relay 기법의 성능을 비교 분석한다. 이를 통해 제안된 기법이 주파수 효율의 저하없이 협력 다이버시디 이득을 획득할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
