Reliability-Security in Wireless-Powered Cooperative Network with Friendly Jammer

In this paper, we study the Outage Probabil-ity (OP) and the Intercept Probability (IP) of Wireless -Powered Cooperative Networks (WPCNs) in the pres-ence of a malicious eavesdropper and a friendly jam-mer. We specifically present the system model and the power splitting Energy Harvesting (EH) architec-ture to increase system reliability and security. In ad-dition, we obtain exact analytical equations for the OP and IP. Asymptotic analysis in the low Signal-to-Jam Ratio (SJR) regimes expressed in integral-form expres-sions are provided to observe the lower bound of the IP. Finally, all derivations are validated by simulation results using the Monte Carlo method. replacing or reducing the network's self-sufficiency. The integration of EH-assisted nodes as alternative sources of wireless network power is regarded as one of the most promising techniques for developing the next generation of wireless networks while diminishing the requirement for external power sources [1], [2] and [3]. EH technologies convert various sources of ambient en-ergy into electricity, which may then be used to power energy-constrained wireless devices such as sensors, remote monitoring devices, and wearable or implanted medical equipment [4], [5], [6], [7] and [8].
