Physical layer security for primary system: A symbiotic approach in cooperative cognitive radio networks

초록

In this paper, we proposed a symbiotic approach for a secure primary network by allowing the secondary users to send the jamming noise to degrade the wiretap ability of the eavesdropper. In particular, assuming that the global channel state information is perfectly known at tranceivers, we consider the case of the primary transmitter equipped with only one antenna, which implies that the primary transmitter does not have beamforming capability. As the reward of having access to the frequency spectrum which is licensed by the the primary user, the secondary transmitter will assist the primary systems in terms of security by sending the jamming noise to the eavesdropper. We propose an algorithm to find the optimal transmit power for maximizing the secrecy capacity of the primary system. Numerical results are presented to validate our proposed scheme. © 2015 IEEE.
