Secure Transmission in Cognitive Relaying Networks with Full-Duplex Technique

This paper studies the secure transmission in cognitive wiretap relaying networks with full-duplex technique over Rayleigh channels, where a secondary user (SU) transmitter (Alice) aims to transmit confidential information to a multi-antenna legitimate SU receiver (Bob) in the presence of a multi-antenna relay (Relay), a primary user (PU) and a passive eavesdropper (Eve). For secrecy performance enhancement, we propose maximal-ratio combining-zero forcing beamforming/maximal-ratio transmission-selection combining-zero forcing beamforming (MRC-ZFB/MRT-SC-ZFB) scheme. The closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the CRNs with MRC-ZFB/MRT-SC-ZFB scheme is derived. From the analysis, we look into the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, and present simple secrecy outage approximation for the proposed scheme, which reveals that the secrecy diversity order is min(N
