Outage Constraint Robust Cooperative Beamforming and Jamming Design for Secure AF Relay Networks

Abstract

This paper investigates a joint robust scheme in a secrecy relay network where distributed relays perform cooperative beamforming and a friendly jammer transmits jamming signal to enhance the information security. Specifically, we consider the outage constraint secrecy rate maximization design with imperfect channel state information. Through semidefinite relaxation and one-dimensional search, we propose a two-layer optimization method to solve the nonconvex problem. In addition, the Bernstein-type inequality and large deviation inequality are utilized to convert the probabilistic constraint. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the proposed design.
