Relay Selection, Eavesdropper-Aware Relaying, PHY-Secrecy Capacity Analysis of Cooperative Wireless System over Hybrid Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2023) Bhatia, Ashutosh; Bitragunta, Sainath
Physical layer (PHY) security (PLS) exploits the randomness of wireless fading channels and offers better secrecy capacity. Cooperative and eavesdropper-aware relays are useful in establishing reliable and energy-efficient communication links between the source transmitter and destination receiver and enhancing PHY secrecy. We consider a four-node, two-hop cooperative PHY-security model with one eavesdropper node. For it, we propose relay selection probabilistically and relaying in the presence of hybrid fading channels. We derive closed-form expressions for probabilities with which the regenerative relay is selected. Further, we develop an analysis of PHY-secrecy capacity and gain useful insights. We evaluate and validate the performance of the proposed strategy and present different numerical results. The proposed model with the relay selection and energy-efficient relaying strategy is a useful potential benchmark for more complex power-adaptive cooperative PHY-secure systems and networks.
