Abstract
This study investigates the physical-layer security in random cognitive radio network (CRN) consisting of randomly distributed primary nodes, secondary nodes, relay nodes and eavesdroppers, where the secondary nodes share the spectrum of the primary nodes and the eavesdroppers attempt to intercept the secondary transmissions. The authors develop a framework to analysis the reliability-reliability tradeoff (RRT) and security-reliability tradeoff (SRT) in the random CRNs, where the security and reliability are quantified in terms of secrecy outage probability and connection outage probability. The RRT evaluates performance tradeoff between the primary and the secondary networks and the SRT evaluates the performance tradeoff inside the secondary network. Furthermore, they propose an opportunistic relay selection (ORS) scheme to enhance the secondary confidential transmission. It is demonstrated that the ORS scheme significantly improves the RRT and SRT as the density of relays increases, and outperforms the conventional direct transmission when the density of relays is larger than a certain value. This actually promotes the understandings of the performance tradeoffs and provides direct insights on system design for the practical CRNs.
