A Novel Approach to Enhance the Physical Layer Channel Security of Wireless Cooperative Vehicular Communication Using Decode-and-Forward Best Relaying Selection

الملخص EN

This paper proposes a novel approach to enhance wireless vehicle-to-vehicle channel-secrecy capacity by imposing signal transmission diversity.

This work exploits cooperative vehicular relaying to extract the associated underlying multipath and Doppler diversity using precoding techniques.

We evaluated the capacity and diversity gain for the presented approach to ensure its effectiveness and efficiency.

The abundance of moving vehicles, operating in an ad hoc fashion, can eliminate the need to establish a dedicated relaying infrastructure.

A relay selection scheme is deployed, taking advantage of the potentially large number of available relaying vehicles.

Further, we derivate a closed-form mathematical expression for the channel-secrecy capacity, diversity order gain, and the intercept probability.

We used the direct transmission scenario as a reference to assess our analysis.

Our analytical and simulation results for the presented model showed that channel-secrecy capacity and performance-indicators improved significantly.
