Abstract:

In this paper, a joint beamforming alignment and suboptimal power allocation (Sub-OPA) for a two-way untrusted relay network is presented. Considering the link between users is established via only an untrusted relay because of either the shadowing fading or long distance between users, we utilize a destination-assisted-jamming (DAJ) technique to improve the security performance. In each time slot, a user transmits confidential signals and the other emits jamming signals simultaneously to prevent the untrusted relay from intercepting the confidential signals. First, we design a novel beamforming to align the confidential signal to the subspace corresponding to the confidential transmission channel and direct the cooperative jamming signal toward untrusted relay. Then, an iterative algorithm is presented to generate the Sub-OPA of each user for the transmission of confidential and cooperative jamming signal. The correctness and efficiency of the proposed beamforming scheme and the Sub-OPA are validated by numerical simulations and the results are compared via MatLab optimization toolbox. Moreover, the simulations show the iterative algorithm is converged after the fourth iteration at lower signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and rapidly converged with allocating more power to the confidential signals at higher SNRs.
