智能窃听下协作NOMA网络的性能分析

针对下行双用户NOMA (Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access)系统模型中存在智能窃听者,该窃听者可以自适应地选择被动窃听或主动干扰工作模式,在不精确了解其干扰水平的情况下,部分NOMA用户很有可能遭遇传输质量下降乃至保密中断,这将对信息安全传输构成严重威胁。另外,由于信道衰落,用户的位置对系统整体性能有很大影响,难以保证距离源节点较远用户的传输质量。为解决上述问题,本文提出了一种新型的两阶段用户协作方案。第一阶段,远用户采用全双工(full-duplex,FD)干扰智能窃听者,第二阶段,近用户可作为一个中继协助源节点转发远用户信号信息,并在接收端采用串行干扰消除（Successive Interference Cancellation, SIC）技术进行解码。使用户间达成合作,提高通信链路安全性和用户服务质量。考虑到系统中不同用户的信息接收速率与通信需求不同之间的相关性,分别推导了遍历安全容量和遍历容量的解析表达式,同时分析了功率分配因子和用户间协作发射功率等因素对性能的影响,并通过Monte-Carlo仿真验证了其正确性。

Secrecy analysis of a cooperative NOMA network using an EH untrusted relay

In this paper, a down-link non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system with imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) using Energy-Harvesting untrusted relays is investigated. These relaying nodes use in this study use a power-switching architecture to harvest energy from the sources signals and apply an amplify-and-forward protocol to forward the signals. In addition, transmit jamming or artificial noise, is generated by a source node to improve the security of the system and protect confidential source information from untrusted relays. Likewise, three relaying selection strategies are employed to examine the secrecy performance of the proposed system. In order to evaluate the performance evaluation of the proposed system, closed-form expressions of the Secrecy Outage Probability (SOP) are studied over Rayleigh fading channels and a Monte Carlo simulation is used to confirm the analytical results. Furthermore, we study the effects of various parameters, such as power allocation factors, relay node selection, the number of relays, energy harvesting efficiency and the location of relay nodes on the secure outage performances for two users of NOMA system and conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA). These results show that NOMA offers the better security performance with multiple users.     

On Multiple Access Using H-ARQ with SIC Techniques for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper, we consider non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for wireless ad hoc networks over block fading channels where the performance is limited by interference and fading. In order to provide a reasonable performance, we can use re-transmission and interference cancellation techniques. Re-transmission techniques can provide a diversity gain over fading channels, while the successive interference cancellation (SIC) can improve the signal to interference ratio (SIR). Using the information outage probability, we show that the NOMA approach with re-transmissions can perform better than the orthogonal multiple access (OMA) approach with re-transmissions when the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is low. It is also shown that the outage probability of the NOMA with SIC is lower than that of OMA when the rate is sufficiently low where SIC can be facilitated.     

A Non-Orthogonal Selection Cooperation Protocol with Interference in Multi-Source Cooperative Networks

This work proposes a non-orthogonal selection cooperation scheme with interference for multi-source and single destination cooperative networks. In our model, the source nodes can cooperate for one another, i.e., each source node plays the dual role of a source and a relay, thus there is no need for relays. In addition, the source nodes can be continuously transmitted and without dedicated timeslots for cooperative transmissions, which can save system resources and improve spectral efficiency. However, by this way, it will introduce interference with the non-orthogonal transmission mechanism. To overcome this problem, we use general reception scheme in source nodes and successive interference cancellation technology in the destination node, which can reduce the effect of interference effectively. For interference-limited networks, we also derive the theoretical upper bound and lower bound of outage probability of our method. Through the outage probability analysis and comparison, the results show that the spectral efficiency is improved while the system still keeps acceptable transmission reliability.

     

Outage of cooperative NOMA with an energy harvesting relay in an underlay cognitive radio network

This paper analyzes the performance of a cooperative nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in an underlay cognitive radio network aided by an energy harvesting relay. A secondary source transmits signal for two users, where a near user acts as a relay for the far user. The far user applies the selection combining (SC) approach on the signals which were relayed by the near user and received via direct path from the secondary source. We analytically derive the outage probability (OP) of each user separately, the overall system OP, and the throughput of the system. The impact of the power allocation coefficient of NOMA and energy harvesting parameters on outage is indicated. Further, the performance of the network is investigated with imperfection in successive interference cancellation (SIC), maximal ratio combining (MRC) at relay, and Nakagami-m fading. The results derived analytically are supported by simulation in MATLAB.     

Cooperative Hybrid Spectrum Sharing: A NOMA-based Approach

Non-orthogonal multiple (NOMA) access using successive interference cancellation and cognitive radio are two promising techniques for enhancing the spectrum efficiency and utilization for future wireless communication systems. This paper presents a NOMA-based cooperative hybrid spectrum sharing protocol for cognitive radio networks. A two phase decode-and- forward (DF) relaying scheme in a multi-relay scenario is considered. Each secondary transmitter is grouped into one of the two clusters: a non-cooperative cluster (NCC) and a cooperative cluster (CC). The cluster head (CH) of the CC working as the best DF relay for the primary system is permitted to transmit its own signal superimposed on the primary signal using a NOMA approach in exchange for cooperation. On the other hand, the CH of the NCC transmits in parallel with the primary system satisfying a predefined peak transmit power and peak interference power constraints that guarantee a given primary quality of the service requirement. It is demonstrated that the performances of both the primary and secondary systems increase with the increasing number of secondary nodes. The simulation and theoretical results affirm the efficacy of the proposed protocol compared to the traditional overlay and underlay models in terms of the outage probability and the ergodic capacity.     

A New Relay and Jammer Selection Schemes for Secure One-Way Cooperative Networks

This paper presents different relay and jammer selection schemes for one-way cooperative networks to increase the security against malicious eavesdroppers. We consider a single source-destination cooperative network with multiple intermediate nodes and one or more eavesdroppers. The selection in the proposed schemes is made with the presence of direct links and the assumption that the broadcast phase is unsecured. The proposed schemes select three intermediate nodes. The first selected node operates in the conventional relay mode and assists the source to deliver its data to the corresponding destination via a Decode-and-Forward strategy. The second and third selected nodes are used in different communication phases as jammers to create intentional interference at the eavesdroppers’ nodes. Moreover, a hybrid scheme which switches between jamming and non-jamming modes is introduced in this paper. The proposed schemes are analyzed in terms of ergodic secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability. Extensive analysis and a set of simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the different schemes presented in this work. The obtained results show that the proposed schemes with jamming outperform the conventional non-jamming schemes and the hybrid switching scheme further improves the secrecy capacity. The impact of changing both the eavesdroppers and the relays location on ergodic secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability is also discussed. Finally, the impact of the presence of multiple eavesdroppers is studied in this paper.
