Robust Destination Jamming Aided Secrecy Precoding for an AF MIMO Untrusted Relay System

الملخص EN

We consider a secrecy dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) untrusted relay network, where the relay is willing to forward the signal to the destination while acting as a potential eavesdropper.

Assuming that all these nodes are equipped with multiple antennas, we propose a joint destination aided cooperative jamming and precoding at both the source and the relay scheme, with the objective to maximize the worst case secrecy rate.

The formulated problem is highly non-convex due to the maximization of the difference of several logarithmic determinant (log-det) functions in the CSI uncertainty region.

To handle this challenge, we propose to linearize these log-det terms.

After linearization, we tackle the CSI uncertainty based on epigraph reformulation and the sign-definiteness lemma.

Finally, an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm is proposed to solve the reformulated problem.

Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme.
