On the Performance of the DNPS-Based Relay Networks under Masquerading Attack

On the Performance of the DNPS-Based Relay Networks under Masquerading Attack

In the relay networks, two typical issues of physical layer security are selfishness and garbling. As a matter of fact, a certain nontypical but severely harmful misbehavior can also remove the cooperative diversity gain. Here, we coin the masquerading attack to indicate this kind of misbehavior. A...
