Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new relay selection scheme which can decrease the secrecy outage probability in a relay communication network with multiple relays and an eavesdropper. In the conventional relay selection scheme, a relay transmits jamming signal toward an eavesdropper to decrease the successful decoding probability of the eavesdropper. The coventional scheme has a critical problem that the successful decoding probability of a receiver also decreases. The new relay selection scheme proposed in this paper can significantly enhance the secrecy outage probability by selecting a pair of relays which can increase the successful decoding probability of the receiver while decreasing the successful decoding probability of the eavesdropper. We performed extensive computer simulation based on Monte-Carlo. The simulation results reveal that the proposed relay selection scheme can improve the secrecy outage probability by 10 to 50 times compared to the existing relay selection scheme.

본 논문은 복수 개의 중계기와 도청자가 존재하는 중계기 통신 네트워크에서 보안 오류 확률을 낮출 수 있는 새로운 중계기 선택 기법을 제안한다. 도청자의 복호 확률을 낮추기 위해서 데이터와 함께 재밍 신호를 전송하는 기존의 중계기 선택 방식에서는 수신자의 데이터 복호 확률도 낮아지는 문제점이 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 새로운 중계기 선택 기법은 수신자의 복호 확률을 높이면서 동시에 도청자의 복호 확률을 낮출 수 있는 중계기를 쌍으로 선택하여 보안 오류 확률을 개선하였다. Monte-Carlo 기반 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능 분석 결과에 따르면, 제안 중계기 선택 방식은 기존 중계기 선택 방식 대비 보안 오류 확률을 약 10~50배 개선시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
