Secrecy Performance of Full‐Duplex Space‐Air‐Ground Integrated Networks in the Presence of Active/Passive Eavesdropper, and Friendly Jammer

Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this paper, a full‐duplex (FD) space‐air ground integrated network (SAGIN) system with passive and active eavesdroppers (PE/AE) and a friendly jammer (FJ) is investigated. The shadowing side information (SSI)‐based unmanned aerial vehicle relay node (URN) selection strategy is considered to improve signal‐to‐interference plus noise power ratio (SINR) at the ground destination unit. To quantify the secrecy performance of the considered scenario, outage probability (OP), interception probability (IP), and transmission secrecy outage probability (TSOP) are investigated in the presence of FJ and PE/AE. The results have shown that aerial AE is an important threat since it can severely degrade the OP of the main transmission link. Furthermore, the FJ can decrease the IP of the eavesdropper by causing interference with the cost of power consumption of URNs. Simulations are performed to verify the theoretical findings.
