| description | This paper tackles the challenge of secure and reliable data transmission in diamond network configurations featuring two untrusted relays with low-security clearance. We propose an innovative approach that employs lossy-decode and -forward relaying at these untrusted relays to boost transmission reliability while safeguarding the source information from potential eavesdroppers. An essential contribution of this work is the introduction of the reliable and secure probability (RSP) metric. This metric assesses the likelihood of the destination successfully retrieving the original information while maintaining its confidentiality from untrusted relays. Our analysis shows that the integration of cooperative jamming signals markedly enhances the RSP, resulting in superior security and reliability. Simulation results confirm that optimal power distribution among the source, relays, and destination further maximizes the RSP. These findings underscore the effectiveness of our proposed scheme in ensuring secure and reliable communication in environments with untrusted relays, suggesting its potential as a robust solution for secure communications in diamond network configurations. |
