Secrecy Throughput Maximization for Full-Duplex Wireless Powered IoT Networks Under Fairness Constraints

Abstract

In this paper, we study the secrecy throughput of a full-duplex wireless powered communication network (WPCN) for internet of things (IoT). The WPCN consists of a fullduplex multi-antenna base station (BS) and a number of sensor nodes. The BS transmits energy all the time, and each node harvests energy prior to its transmission time slot. The nodes sequentially transmit their confidential information to the BS, and the other nodes are considered as potential eavesdroppers. We first formulate the sum secrecy throughput optimization problem of all the nodes. The optimization variables are the duration of the time slots and the BS beamforming vectors in different time slots. The problem is shown to be non-convex. To tackle the problem, we propose a suboptimal two stage approach, referred to as sum secrecy throughput maximization (SSTM). In the first stage, the BS focuses its beamforming to blind the potential eavesdroppers (other nodes) during information transmission time slots. Then, the optimal beamforming vector in the initial non-information transmission time slot and the optimal time slots are derived. We then consider fairness among the nodes and propose max-min fair (MMF) and proportional fair (PLF) algorithms. The MMF algorithm maximizes the minimum secrecy throughput of the nodes, while the PLF tries to achieve a good trade-off between the sum secrecy throughput and fairness among the nodes. Through numerical simulations, we first demonstrate the superior performance of the SSTM to uniform time slotting and beamforming in different settings. Then, we show the effectiveness of the proposed fair algorithms.Index Terms-wireless powered communication network (WPCN), physical layer security, Internet of Things (IoT), fairness, energy beamforming, full-duplex

QoS‐aware stochastic spatial PLS model for analysing secrecy performance under eavesdropping and jamming

“…Here, we numerically investigate the secrecy performance of the proposed QoS‐aware system model. Unless explicitly mentioned, we have considered: , , , , , referring IoT networks [37, 38].

“…However, it is not possible to obtain the explicit analytic solution for D th because of highly non-linear terms in (30) and (33). Thus, Goldensection (GS) based linear search [39] technique is used to find the solution within (0 < D ≤ D max ). becomes constant with respect to r for D < D sat as depicted from the first case of (30) after substituting the value of α from (12).…”

Stochastic Optimization of Data Access and Hybrid Transmission in Wireless Sensor Network

“…A highly distributed algorithm is proposed to support smooth data collection and coordinated data dissemination. Rezaei et al [17] exploit the wireless powered communication in IoT which is composed of base stations and sensor nodes. The secrecy throughput of sensors is optimized by the proposed max-min fair and proportional fair algorithms.…”

Secure Communication With Energy-Harvesting Buffer-Aided Jammer

“…Motivated by the need for security and EH, we analyze the gain in security performance by an EH jammer transmitting AN, which can degrade an unknown eavesdropper channel. The considered RF-EH jamming is applicable in various practicable IoT applications related to monitoring and data collection, i.e., the body sensor network [22], smart home, and smart city infrastructure [23]. PLS and EH techniques became essential to address the issue of security in resourcelimited IoT networks.…”
