Abstract

Security is a demanding request for wireless networks, with physical layer security the problems in traditional encryption algorithms and key management are vanished. In this paper, a novel beamforming scheme is proposed to improve secrecy rate in an untrusted relay network, where the untrusted relay helps to improve the network coverage area but may act as a potential eavesdroper. A destination-assisted-jamming (DAJ) is used to protect the confidential information against untrusted relays and eavesdroppers. By optimizing beamforming, we align the confidential signal to the equivalent valid signal space and force it to be orthogonal to the cooperative jamming signal space. The correctness and efficiency of the proposed beamforming scheme are validated by numerical simulations.
