Abstract
The key idea of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is to serve multiple users in the same frequency band to improve the spectral efficiency. Whereas a security flaw emerges in the presence of untrusted users or low security clearance users who can access the messages of trusted users due to the spectrum sharing and may work as eavesdroppers. To achieve reliable and secure communications of NOMA systems under untrusted users, we in this paper propose two relay selection (RS) schemes termed decode-and-forward (DF) and amplify-and-forward (AF) protocols based optimal relay selection (i.e., DORS and AORS) schemes, respectively. To explicitly reveal the benefits of the DORS and AORS schemes, we derive the exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and positive secrecy capacity probability (PSCP) achieved by the two schemes, and analyze the optimality of the two schemes. Analysis and simulation results indicate that both the DORS and AORS schemes significantly outperform the benchmark schemes, in addition to achieving the same SOP and desirable PSCP at high SNR.
