Abstract
AbstracdtContent delivery via device‐to‐device (D2D) communications is a promising technology for offloading the heavy traffic for future mobile communication networks. As security is a critical concern for the users, we focus on improving the secrecy capacity for content dissemination in D2D communications. In this work, we explore the inherent characteristics of wireless channels to prevent eavesdropping. Firstly, we propose a power control scheme to obtain the optimal transmission powers for the D2D links without violating secrecy requirement of cellular users. Then, we formulate the problem as a stochastic optimization problem, aiming at maximizing the secrecy capacity gain of D2D communications. By solving the expected value model for the stochastic optimization problem, the optimal D2D links are selected to realize maximal ergodic secrecy capacity gain. Specifically, a weighted conflict graph is formulated according to the protocol model. Thus, the optimization problem has been transformed to the maximum weighted independent set problem, which is solved by a greedy weighted minimum degree algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that the content dissemination scheme with power control can bring high secrecy capacity gain to the network. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
