On the physical layer security performance of full‐duplex cooperative NOMA system with multiple eavesdroppers, imperfect SIC and hardware imperfections

Abstract

AbstractIn this letter, we propose a control jammer‐assisted framework for improving the physical layer security (PLS) of full‐duplex (FD) ‐ cooperative non‐orthogonal multiple access (FD‐CNOMA) network. We derive analytical expressions for the secrecy outage probabilities (SOPs) of the users for the jammer‐assisted and the no‐jammer scenarios, considering multiple non‐colluding eavesdroppers, residual hardware impairments and imperfect successive interference cancellation conditions. It is demonstrated that the proposed jammer‐assisted framework provides significant reduction of the SOPs experienced by the downlink users in FD‐CNOMA network.
