In this paper, an extended large wireless network under the secrecy constraint is considered. In contrast to works which use idealized assumptions, a more realistic network situation with unknown eavesdroppers locations is investigated: the legitimate users only know their own Channel State Information (CSI), not the eavesdroppers CSI. Also, the network is analyzed by taking in to account the effects of both fading and path loss. Under these assumptions, a power efficient cooperative scheme, named emph{stochastic virtual beamforming}, is proposed. Applying this scheme, an unbounded secure rate with any desired outage level is achieved, provided that the density of the legitimate users tends to infinity. In addition, by tending the legitimate users density to the infinity, the tolerable density of eavesdroppers will become unbounded too.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are highly efficient. Massive MIMO systems are inherently resistant to passive attackers (eavesdroppers), thanks to transmissions directed to the desired users. However, active attackers can transmit a combination of legitimate user pilot signals during the channel estimation phase. This way they can mislead the base station (BS) to rotate the transmission in their direction, and allow them to eavesdrop during the downlink data transmission phase. In this paper, we analyse this vulnerability in an improved system model and stronger adversary assumptions, and investigate how physical layer security can mitigate such attacks and ensure secure (confidential) communication. We derive the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and a lower bound on the ergodic secrecy capacity, using stochastic geometry tools when the number of antennas in the BSs tends to infinity. We adapt the result to evaluate the secrecy performance in massive orthogonal multiple access (OMA). We find that appropriate power allocation allows NOMA to outperform OMA in terms of ergodic secrecy rate and SOP.
This paper considers the secrecy performance of several schemes for multi-antenna transmission to single-antenna users with full-duplex (FD) capability against randomly distributed single-antenna eavesdroppers (EDs). These schemes and related scenarios include transmit antenna selection (TAS), transmit antenna beamforming (TAB), artificial noise (AN) from the transmitter, user selection based their distances to the transmitter, and colluding and non-colluding EDs. The locations of randomly distributed EDs and users are assumed to be distributed as Poisson Point Process (PPP). We derive closed form expressions for the secrecy outage probabilities (SOP) of all these schemes and scenarios. The derived expressions are useful to reveal the impacts of various environmental parameters and users choices on the SOP, and hence useful for network design purposes. Examples of such numerical results are discussed.
We investigate the secure communications over correlated wiretap Rayleigh fading channels assuming the full channel state information (CSI) available. Based on the information theoretic formulation, we derive closed-form expressions for the average secrecy capacity and the outage probability. Simulation results confirm our analytical expressions.
Employing reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) is emerging as a game-changer candidate, thanks to their unique capabilities in improving the power efficiency and supporting the ubiquity of future wireless communication systems. Conventionally, a wireless network design has been limited to the communicating end points, i.e., the transmitter and the receiver. In general, we take advantage of the imposed channel state knowledge to manipulate the transmitted signal and to improve the detection quality at the receiver. With the aid of RISs, and to some extent, the propagation channel has become a part of the design problem. In this paper, we consider a single-input single-output cooperative network and investigate the effect of using RISs in enhancing the physical layer security of the system. Specifically, we formulate an optimization problem to study the effectiveness of the RIS in improving the system secrecy by introducing a weighted variant of the secrecy capacity definition. Numerical simulations are provided to show the design trade-offs and to present the superiority of RIS-assisted networks over the conventional ones in terms of the systems secrecy performance.
We study the secrecy capacity of a helper-assisted Gaussian wiretap channel with a source, a legitimate receiver, an eavesdropper and an external helper, where each terminal is equipped with multiple antennas. Determining the secrecy capacity in this scenario generally requires solving a nonconvex secrecy rate maximization (SRM) problem. To deal with this issue, we first reformulate the original SRM problem into a sequence of convex subproblems. For the special case of single-antenna legitimate receiver, we obtain the secrecy capacity via a combination of convex optimization and one-dimensional search, while for the general case of multi-antenna legitimate receiver, we propose an iterative solution. To gain more insight into how the secrecy capacity of a helper-assisted Gaussian wiretap channel behaves, we examine the achievable secure degrees of freedom (s.d.o.f.) and obtain the maximal achievable s.d.o.f. in closed-form. We also derive a closed-form solution to the original SRM problem which achieves the maximal s.d.o.f.. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed schemes.
