Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a physical layer secure communication scheme against eavesdropping attacks in a cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network, belonging to the technical field of physical layer security in wireless communication, and particularly relates to combining the artificial noise technology with the traditional one-time pad technology to combat external eavesdropping attacks on a relay cooperative NOMA network. Background Art

[0002] The progress of network technology and wireless communication technology enables various terminal devices to be connected to the network. The emergence and rise of the Internet of Things further accelerate the development of this trend, resulting in an explosive growth of network data transmission and making spectrum resources more scarce. Cooperative relay technology can expand the signal coverage range, enable more users to connect to the communication network, and improve the data transmission efficiency. NOMA technology can serve multiple users simultaneously and alleviate the current shortage of spectrum resources. Therefore, the combination of relay cooperative technology and NOMA technology can enable the network to provide better services for more users. However, while the relay cooperative NOMA network serves more users, it also allows more users to be connected to the network, giving more users the opportunity to obtain legitimate user information, which poses more challenges to the current network communication security. Currently, traditional cryptography technologies rely on difficult problems in mathematics to construct secure communication schemes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Object of the Invention: The object of the present invention is to provide a secure communication method for an eavesdropped NOMA network based on artificial noise. In the case where the relay cooperative NOMA network is attacked by external eavesdropping users, the present invention proposes a physical layer secure communication scheme. The secure communication scheme designed by the present invention based on relay selection, artificial noise, and one-time pad technology can efficiently achieve secure communication between the near user and the far user, and the security-reliability balance performance of the secure communication scheme of the present invention has a very obvious advantage over the existing secure communication schemes.

[0004] Technical Solution: A secure communication method for an eavesdropped NOMA network based on artificial noise according to the present invention is applied to a communication scenario where a cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access NOMA network with multiple relay nodes is under eavesdropping attack. The system includes a source user, several relay nodes each equipped with two antennas, a single-antenna near user, a single-antenna far user, and a single-antenna eavesdropping user. The secure communication method includes the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: In the first time slot, the source uses NOMA technology to linearly combine the near user message x 1 and the far user message x 2 to obtain a mixed signal Among them, α 1 and α 2 respectively represent the power allocation coefficients of x 1 and x 2 , α 2 >α 1 >0, α 1 +α 2 =1; Then, the source sends the NOMA signal to the relay node selected based on the max - min relay selection scheme. This relay node adopts full - duplex technology. While one antenna receives the NOMA signal, the other antenna sends the artificial noise signal x J to interfere with the eavesdropping user E; The relay node, the near user, the far user, and the eavesdropping user calculate the corresponding signal - to - noise ratio (SNR) and signal - to - interference - plus - noise ratio (SINR) according to the received signals.

[0006] Step 2: In the second time slot, the selected relay node decodes the signals x 1 and x 2 , regards x 1 , x 2 and x J as bit strings, and respectively XOR - adds x 1 and x 2 with x J to obtain the signals and Again using NOMA technology, the NOMA signal The selected relay node transmits the signal x r , and the source, as an interfering node, simultaneously transmits the artificial noise signal x J1 to weaken the eavesdropping attack; Finally, the near user, the far user, and the eavesdropping user calculate the SINR and SNR of the relevant signals according to their respective received signals; Considering the worst - case scenario, assume that the eavesdropping user is a strong eavesdropper, so the eavesdropping user ignores the serial interference between NOMA signals.

[0007] Step 3: The near user, the far user, and the eavesdropping user calculate the corresponding outage probability and eavesdropping probability according to the obtained SINR and SNR.

[0008] Furthermore, in Step 1, the selected relay node R i in the first time slot can obtain the SINRs of the decoded signals x 2 and x 1 from the received signal x as follows:

[0009]

[0010] Among them, P s1 is the transmission power of the source signal, and the additive white Gaussian noise power at the relay node R i is hsi Denote the instantaneous channel state information from the source to the selected relay node as \(h_{s,r}\), and the residual self - interference signal - to - noise ratio of the selected relay node as \(I\). If the eavesdropping user is a strong eavesdropper, the signal - to - interference - plus - noise ratio of the eavesdropping user with respect to signals \(x\) 2 and \(x\) 1 is:

[0011]

[0012] where \(h_{r,e}\) se and \(h_{s,e}\) ie respectively represent the instantaneous channel state information from the source and the selected relay node to the eavesdropping user, \(P\) r1 is the signal transmission power of the selected relay node, and the additive white Gaussian noise power at the eavesdropping user is \(N_0\). Since the relay node adopts XOR operation, the two NOMA users and the eavesdropping user need to decode the artificial noise signal \(x\) J , so the signal - to - noise ratios of the near user and the far user with respect to the signal \(x\) J and the signal - to - interference - plus - noise ratio of the eavesdropping user for decoding the signal \(x\) J are respectively:

[0013]

[0014] where and respectively represent the instantaneous channel state information from the selected relay node to the near user and the far user, \(P_1\) r1 is the power of the artificial noise signal transmitted by the selected relay node in the first time slot, and are the Gaussian white noise powers at the near user and the far user respectively.

[0015] Furthermore, in step 1, the signal - to - interference - plus - noise ratios of the selected relay node for decoding signals \(x\) 1 and \(x\) 2 , the signal - to - interference - plus - noise ratios or signal - to - noise ratios of the NOMA users and the eavesdropping user for decoding the artificial noise signal \(x\) J are calculated as follows: First, select a relay node from the relay node set . Here, the relay selection rule is:

[0016]

[0017] While receiving the NOMA signal sent by the source, the relay node also needs to send the artificial noise signal \(x\) J to interfere with the eavesdropping user. The signal received by the relay node is:

[0018]

[0019] where \(n\) idenotes the additive white Gaussian noise at the relay node, h ii is the residual self-interference after self-interference cancellation at the relay node; the relay node calculates the signal x according to the received signal 1 and x 2 The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios of are respectively and The received signals of the near user, far user, and eavesdropping user are respectively:

[0020]

[0021] wherein, and n e respectively denote the additive white Gaussian noise at the near user, far user, and eavesdropping user; the near user, far user, and eavesdropping user calculate the signal-to-noise ratio and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of the corresponding signals as respectively and

[0022] Further, in step 2, in the second time slot, the near user decodes the signals and The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio and signal-to-noise ratio of are respectively:

[0023]

[0024] wherein, P r2 denotes the transmit power of the second time slot signal of the selected relay node; the far user decodes the signal The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of is:

[0025]

[0026] Based on the fact that the eavesdropping user has strong eavesdropping ability, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of the eavesdropping user with respect to the signals and is:

[0027]

[0028] wherein, P s2 denotes the power of the artificial noise transmitted by the source user in the second time slot.

[0029] Further, in step 2, in the second time slot, the process of calculating the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio and signal-to-noise ratio of the relevant signals is as follows: the relay node XOR-adds the decoded signals x 1 and x 2 with the artificial noise signal x J transmitted in its first time slot, and then adopts the NOMA technology to obtain the mixed signal and sends this signal to the NOMA users, and the source simultaneously sends the artificial noise x J1Weaken the eavesdropping user; thus, the received signals of the near user, far user, and eavesdropping user are respectively:

[0030]

[0031]

[0032] Combined with the NOMA mechanism, the near user decodes and The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios are respectively and The far user decodes The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio is The eavesdropping user has a strong eavesdropping ability, and its decoded signals and The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios are respectively and

[0033] Furthermore, in step 3, the outage probability calculation process is as follows: According to the NOMA mechanism and the relay cooperation strategy, at the end of the data transmission in the first time slot, the selected relay node needs to decode the signals x 2 and x 1 As long as and The condition for the near user to successfully decode x J is In the second time slot, according to the NOMA mechanism, as long as the near user can successfully decode Based on this analysis, the outage probability of the near user is:

[0034]

[0035] The far user needs to decode x 2 , and it requires the relay node to successfully decode x 2 and x 1 in the first time slot. It also requires the far user to decode the artificial noise signal x J in the first time slot and the signal in the second time slot. Therefore, the outage probability of the far user is:

[0036]

[0037] Furthermore, in step 3, the eavesdropping probability calculation process is as follows: There are two cases where the signal x 1 is eavesdropped. One is that the eavesdropper directly steals the source message x 1 ; the other is that the eavesdropping user cannot directly obtain x 1 , and the near user needs to decode x J and Then, based on the property of the exclusive OR operation, x is obtained1 , so the probability that the near user is wiretapped is:

[0038]

[0039] The probability that the far user is wiretapped is:

[0040]

[0047] 3. Different from traditional cryptography technologies, physical layer security can achieve data transmission in the sense of perfect secrecy only by using the random characteristics of wireless channels or wireless signals.

In the existing physical layer secure communication scheme applied to cooperative NOMA networks, the eavesdropping user has two chances to directly obtain the information of legitimate users, while the eavesdropping user in the present invention's scheme has only one chance to directly intercept the information of legitimate users, thus effectively enhancing the physical layer security of the cooperative NOMA network suffering from eavesdropping attacks.

[0051] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the system model diagram, the scheme flowchart, and the experimental simulation results.

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, the relay cooperative NOMA communication system model includes 1 source user, 3 relay nodes each equipped with two antennas, 1 single-antenna near user, 1 single-antenna far user, and 1 single-antenna eavesdropping user.

[0053] The process of the present invention is as Figure 2 shown,

[0054] Step 1: The source user adopts the NOMA mechanism to construct a signal and then sends the signal x to the relay node selected according to the maximum-minimum relay selection scheme. The selected relay node adopts the full-duplex mode and sends the artificial noise signal x while receiving the signal J to interfere with the eavesdropping user;

[0055] Step 2: The received signal at the selected relay node is From this, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio can be calculated as and The received signals of the near user, the far user, and the eavesdropping user are respectively and Thus, the signal-to-noise ratio and the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of the corresponding signals of the near user, the far user, and the eavesdropping user can be calculated as and

[0056] Step 3: If the selected relay node can decode the signals x 1 and x 2 , then x 1 , x 2 and x J are regarded as bit sequences, and and can be obtained. Then, the NOMA mechanism is adopted to obtain the mixed signal Finally, x rSent to NOMA users; if the selected relay node cannot correctly decode the source signal x 1 and x 2 , then go to step 5;

[0057] Step 4, the signals received by the near user, far user, and eavesdropping user are respectively and The near user, far user, and eavesdropping user can each calculate the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio as and

[0058] Step 5, the near user and far user calculate their respective outage probabilities based on the obtained signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio and signal-to-noise ratio as follows:

[0059]

[0060] and

[0061]

[0062] The probabilities that the near user and far user are eavesdropped are respectively:

[0063]

[0064] and

[0065]

[0066] The following presents the use of Matlab numerical simulation experiments to implement the outage probabilities of the near user and far user, as well as their eavesdropping probabilities of being eavesdropped. In the simulation experiment, after normalizing the user distances, the coordinates of the source user are (-1,0), the coordinates of the near user and far user are (1,0) and (1,1) respectively, and the position of the eavesdropping user is (0, -1). The relay nodes are distributed on a circle centered at (0,0) with a radius equal to 0.05. The coordinates of the relay node R i are where N = 3, i = 1, 2, 3. In this cooperative NOMA network, each channel is Rayleigh faded. The additive Gaussian noise power of each user in the network is equal, all being σ 2 , and the transmission power of each node signal in the system is P, so the transmission signal-to-noise ratio is The signal-to-noise ratio of the residual self-interference signal is a constant value I = 1, the power allocation coefficient α 1 = 0.1, α 2 = 0.9, and the relevant threshold values are γ 1 = 7, γ 2 = 3, γ e= 2. Next, the security of NOMA users is characterized by the Security-reliability tradeoff (SRT).

[0067] Figure 3 This is a comparison graph of the security-reliability tradeoff performance curves of the present invention, the non-artificial noise secure communication scheme, and the traditional artificial noise secure communication scheme applied to a cooperative NOMA network suffering from eavesdropping attacks. From Figure 3 It can be seen that the security-reliability tradeoff performance of the near user and the far user of the present invention is significantly better than that of the corresponding users of the non-artificial noise secure communication scheme and the traditional artificial noise secure communication scheme.
