Knowledge‐aided cooperative jamming cancellation architecture in physical layer security

Abstract

Abstract This article proposes a cooperative jamming (CJ) architecture based on the coded signal of interest (SOI). The CJ is superimposed on the coded SOI directly at the transmitter, and the authorized user reconstructs the received signal and cancels the CJ based on the prior knowledge of the coding information, then different radiation patterns after cancellation are created for SOI and CJ, which effectively cancels CJ while retaining SOI. Eavesdropper, however, is unaware of the coding information and will cause significant loss to the SOI while cancelling the CJ, therefore unable to achieve eavesdropping on communication signals. Numerical results verify the feasibility of the proposed method.
