Optimal Cooperative Jamming to Enhance Physical Layer Security Using Relays

Abstract

This correspondence studies cooperative jamming (CJ) to increase the physical layer security of a wiretap fading channel via distributed relays. We first provide the feasible conditions on the positiveness of the secrecy rate and then show that the optimization problem can be solved using a combination of convex optimization and a one-dimensional search. Distributed implementation to realize the CJ solution and extension to deal with per group relays' power constraints are discussed.
