In this correspondence, secure primary transmission is proposed by using a multi-antenna secondary full-duplex nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) relay in cognitive radio (CR) networks. First, the primary signal is transmitted from the primary transmitter to the relay. Artificial noise is generated by using part of the antennas at the relay to disrupt eavesdropping, without affecting the primary transmission. Then, superimposed signals are transmitted from the relay to the primary receiver (PR) and secondary receivers (SRs) via NOMA. The primary security is guaranteed by the modified decoding order and beamforming optimization, which is converted to convex and solved by an iterative algorithm. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in guaranteeing the primary security in CR networks.Index Terms-Artificial noise, cognitive radio, non-orthogonal multiple access, physical layer security, full-duplex relay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
