Full-duplex non-orthogonal multiple access wireless networks with energy harvesting have the potential to improve spectral efficiency and save energy. However, wireless signals are susceptible to eavesdropping by other devices within their coverage area. This paper studies the security performance of a full-duplex non-orthogonal multiple access wireless network with energy harvesting (FDNOMAWNwEH) over Nakagami-m fading channels. Results show that the total throughput increases as the power of the primary transmitter increases. Similarly, the total throughput also increases as the expected security level or the energy harvester efficiency increases. In addition, there exists a value of the NOMA power division factor that maximizes the total throughput. Furthermore, the results show that the total throughput decreases as the fading severity parameter increases.

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the security performance of underlay cognitive energy-harvesting relay radio networks (UCEHRRN) through the Monter-Carlo simulation results. The results clarify the influence of critical operating parameters on the security performance of the system. Furthermore, the security capabilities of UCEHRRN have been compared with those of the live transmission system. Moreover, many results show that the security performance of the system is significantly improved. Analysis of the results also shows that UCEHRRN is especially effective when the direct transmission system cannot achieve security due to objective reasons such as path loss, severe fading, and shadowing.
