Nakagami-m channel secrecy: a receiver assisted scheme

Abstract

This paper considers the effect of an end-user assisted jamming scheme to achieve a secure transmission of information over Nakagami-m fading channel in wireless broadcast system. In this work, full duplex (FD) antenna at the legitimate receiver (LR) was introduced in a way that the LR will contribute additional noise to the system to degrade the eavesdropper's channel. The approach achieves secured transmission with improved secrecy when compared to the conventional method that artificial noise (AN) scheme is transmitted from the transmitter only. Numerical analysis and simulation results show an improvement in the secrecy performance metrics.
