Security Performance Analysis of Downlink Double Intelligent Reflecting Surface Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Network for Edge Users

In this work, we study the security performance of a double intelligent reflecting surface non-orthogonal multiple access (DIRS-NOMA) wireless communication system supporting communication for a group of two NOMA users (UEs) at the edge, with the existence of an eavesdropping device (ED). We also as...

description In this work, we study the security performance of a double intelligent reflecting surface non-orthogonal multiple access (DIRS-NOMA) wireless communication system supporting communication for a group of two NOMA users (UEs) at the edge, with the existence of an eavesdropping device (ED). We also assume that there is no direct connection between the BS and the UEs. From the proposed model, we compute closed-form expressions for the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and the average security rate (ASR) for each UE. After that, we discuss and analyze the system security performance according to the NOMA power allocation for each user and the number of IRS counter-emission elements. In addition, we analyze the SOP of both the considered DIRS-NOMA and conventional NOMA systems to demonstrate that DIRS-NOMA systems have much better security than conventional NOMA systems. Based on the analytical results, we develop an ASR optimization algorithm using the alternating optimization method, combining NOMA power allocation factor optimization and IRS passive beam optimization through the Lagrange double transform. The derived analytical expressions are validated through Monte Carlo simulations.
