Title
Performance Study of Two-Hop Amplify-and-Forward Systems With Untrustworthy Relay Nodes
Abstract
This paper investigates the problem of secure communication for amplify-and-forward (AF) systems with untrustworthy relay nodes. To achieve positive secrecy rate, the destination-based jamming (DBJ) technique is applied. We first focus on the single-relay scenario, for which the closed-form expression for the lower bound of the ergodic secrecy capacity (ESC) is derived. Afterward, we extend the DBJ method to the multi-relay scenario and propose a secure relay selection scheme that can maximize the achievable secrecy rate. Based on the extreme-value theory, the approximate ESC is characterized. Our work reveals an interesting result that, when the relay nodes are untrustworthy, the system performance worsens as the number of relays increases.
