In this paper, we investigate secure communication in a hybrid relay (HR)-assisted wireless powered cooperative communication network (WPCCN), where an eavesdropper tries to intercept the data transmitted by a source user and the HR simultaneously. The HR has the ability to wireless powered the energy-constrained multiple users in the downlink and to relay the received confidential information in the uplink. In particular, the full-duplex destination-based jamming (FD-DBJ) strategy is exploited to improve the secrecy performance. Moreover, in order to conduct effective secure communications, we design two multiuser scheduling schemes, i.e., random user selection (RUS), and best user selection (BUS) based on the main channel quality. In order to evaluate the secrecy performance, we analytically derive the energy outage probability (EOP), the secrecy outage probability (SOP), and the hybrid outage probability (HOP), respectively. As such, we formulate the secrecy throughput (ST) maximization problem to optimize the predetermined transmission rate. Our analysis and numerical results reveal that: 1) The BUS scheme has better security performance. 2) Both of the energy conversion efficiency and the number of users have a positive effect on secrecy performance. 3) The FD-DBJ scheme is an effective method to achieve secure communications. 4) The the time-switching factor and predetermined transmission rate have a crucial influence on the secrecy performance, which should be considered carefully in system design.

BACKGROUND VOLUME 4
In this paper, we investigate the secure transmission for differential quadrature spatial modulation (DQSM) with artificial noise (AN) in multiple-input single-output wiretap networks, where a cooperative jammer helps the secure transmission between transceivers in the presence of an eavesdropper. To evaluate the secrecy performance of the DQSM with AN in the considered wiretap networks, assuming Rayleigh fading, we derive exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions for secrecy outage probability and effective secrecy throughput under two practical scenarios, i.e., Scenario I, where the eavesdropper is passive and its channel state information (CSI) is unavailable, and Scenario II, where the eavesdropper is active and its CSI is available. Finally, numerical simulations demonstrate that increasing the transmit power of transmitter or cooperative jammer can improve the secrecy performance, but too large transmit power at the transmitter or cooperative jammer is not helpful. Moreover, increasing the number of antennas at the transmitter or cooperative jammer brings up better secrecy performance.

In this paper, we investigate the impact of saturation nonlinear energy harvesting (EH) and activation threshold on the multiuser wireless powered sensor networks (WPSNs) from the physical layer security (PLS) perspective. In particular, for improving the secrecy performance, the generalized multiuser scheduling (GMS) scheme is exploited, in which the Kth strongest sensor is chosen based on the legitimate link. For evaluating the impact of various key parameters on the security of system, we obtain the exact closed-form expressions for secrecy outage probability (SOP) under linear EH (LEH), saturation nonlinear EH (SNEH) and saturation nonlinear EH with activation threshold (SNAT), respectively, and solve the maximization problem of secure energy efficiency (SEE). Simulation results demonstrate that: (1) the number of source sensors, the EH efficiency and the transmit power of power beacon (PB) all have positive impact on SOP, and the smaller generalized selection coefficient is advantageous for secrecy performance; (2) LEH is an ideal situation for SNEH when the saturation threshold is large enough and SNEH is a special situation for SNAT when the activation threshold is low enough; (3) the time-switching factor and the activation threshold both have an important impact on the secrecy performance, which are worth considering carefully.
