Cooperative Jamming for Physical Layer Security Enhancement Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Published 15 Mar 2024 in cs.NI | (2403.10342v1)
Abstract: Wireless data communications are always facing the risk of eavesdropping and interception. Conventional protection solutions which are based on encryption may not always be practical as is the case for wireless IoT networks or may soon become ineffective against quantum computers. In this regard, Physical Layer Security (PLS) presents a promising approach to secure wireless communications through the exploitation of the physical properties of the wireless channel. Cooperative Friendly Jamming (CFJ) is among the PLS techniques that have received attention in recent years. However, finding an optimal transmit power allocation that results in the highest secrecy is a complex problem that becomes more difficult to address as the size of the wireless network increases. In this paper, we propose an optimization approach to achieve CFJ in large Wi-Fi networks by using a Reinforcement Learning Algorithm. Obtained results show that our optimization approach offers better secrecy results and becomes more effective as the network size and the density of Wi-Fi access points increase.
