Description
Summary:This work investigates and show the performance of destination assisted node in ensuring secure communication in a dual-hop broadcast system. The information transmission occurs between the transmitters which are assumed to be equipped with single antenna through a number of intermediate untrusted relays to the receiver in the presence of multiple passive eavesdroppers. This work assumes that there is no direct link between the transmitter and the receiver and hence, the relay node, receives either the information or noise signal at every transmission processes. Since the transmission occurs in a two-phase, the legitimate receiver is contributing a degrading noise to both the eavesdropper and relay node channels during the first phase while it receives information from the transmitter through the relay during the second phase. Simulation results are used to illustrate the performance of the proposed scheme.
