Abstract-Due to the broadcast nature of wireless communications, security performance of conventional wireless relay communication system is difficult to be guaranteed. In this paper, security performance of the wireless relay communication system based on physical layer network coding (PLNC) is studied. The theoretical analyses and simulations show that the physical layer security performance of wireless relay communication system can be improved effectively by using PLNC technique. Moreover, this paper also shows that the location of relay node in the network has a big impact on the security performance of system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
