Abstract

The PLS technology is highly promising for implementing secure communication in wireless systems due to its advantages of easy deployment, low complexity, and everlasting secrecy. In this chapter, we provide secure communication schemes based on typical PLS techniques like beamforming, precoding, link selection, as well as cooperative jamming. In Sect. 2.1, we show how to design a secure beamforming scheme to maximize the secrecy rate of two-way relay systems. In Sect. 2.2, we also focus on the two-way relay systems and present a secure precoding scheme to maximize the secrecy energy efficiency (SEE). In Sect. 2.3, we investigate effective link selection policies for two-hop cooperative wireless networks. The security-delay tradeoff issue in a two-hop wireless system based on the relay selection technique is studied in Sect. 2.4, followed by a sight-based cooperative jamming (SCJ) scheme for millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems in Sect. 2.5.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In time slot 0, \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) only transmit signals, and R only receives signals.

  2. 2.

    To realize SEE maximization, except for time synchronization, cooperation on the precoders’ joint design is also required. Specifically, the two sources need to exchange channel state information, and one of them (e.g., \(S_1\)) needs to locally compute the optimal precoders. After finishing the precoding design, \(S_1\) sends the optimal precoders to \(S_2\) and R. Then, all nodes will use the optimal precoders to transmit their signals.

  3. 3.

    We omit the index of \(\varphi \), i.e., x, because x is a fixed value in this iteration. In the following, we will also omit the corresponding iteration index if there is no ambiguity.

  4. 4.

    A common PC with CPU Intel Core i7-4790 3.60 GHz and RAM 8 GB is used to execute the calculation.

  5. 5.

    Since the channel gain of a link is independent and identically distributed in each time slot, the SOP of a link is the same in each time slot, and the time indicator k can be omitted.
