Proactive Eavesdropping for Wireless Information Surveillance Under Suspicious Communication Quality-of-Service Constraint

Abstract

This paper investigates a proactive eavesdropping scenario where multiple suspicious communication (SC) links are eavesdropped by a full-duplex monitor who can send jamming or constructive signals on each SC link. In order to avoid being discovered by the suspicious users, the monitor restricts the SC quality-of-service (QoS) degradation caused by itself. Under this SC QoS constraint and the average transmit power constraint, the problems of optimizing the mode and transmit power of the monitor to maximize the average successful eavesdropping probability and the average eavesdropping rate are investigated for the delay-sensitive suspicious service and delay-tolerant suspicious service, respectively. By proving that the time-sharing condition is satisfied, the optimal solutions are derived based on the Lagrange duality method. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes. It is shown that the proposed schemes can provide satisfactory eavesdropping performance improvement even with zero SC QoS degradation requirement.
