摘要

An adaptive cooperative scheme is proposed to improve the security of a wireless-powered relay network. A source node sends data to a destination node in the presence of an amplify-and-forward untrusted relay node and an alien eavesdropper where both are assumed to attempt to decode the source's information signal. The source uses a fraction of its transmit power to send a jamming signal to keep its information confidential. To save energy, the energy-harvesting relay node transmits with the minimum power level that ensures secure transmissions. We derive a closed-form upper bound on the system's secrecy outage probability. The proposed cooperative scheme is more efficient than the conventional scheme, where once the relay has accumulated sufficient energy, it assists the source's information transmission.
