Abstract

This paper investigates the physical layer security of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based cooperative device-to-device (D2D) communications in cellular networks. In the networks, D2D transmitter acts as a relay of cellular networks while transmitting its own information over the spectrum of cellular networks with NOMA technique. The information transmitted by D2D transmitter is overheard by an external eavesdropper. To prevent eavesdropping, a joint design of jamming and beamforming is performed from an aspect of the power control. Particularly, the full-duplex (FD) receiver of cellular networks emits the jamming signals to deteriorate the eavesdropper's channel while receiving the confidential signals from D2D transmitter. Beamforming is designed to protect the legitimate receivers against the jamming signals. Furthermore, the secrecy outage probability of the system (SOPS) is characterized and its closed-form expression is derived. Finally, numerical results are employed to validate the accuracy of the analytical results and the superiority of the proposed scheme in terms of security performance.
