Sequential Detection of Misbehaving Relay in Cooperative Networks

To combat channel fading, cooperative communication achieves spatial diversity for the transmission between source and destination through the help of relay. However, if the relay behaves abnormally or maliciously and the destination is not aware, the diversity gain of the cooperative system will be significantly reduced, which degrades system performance. In our thesis, we consider an one-relay decode and forward cooperative network, and we assume that the relay may misbehave with a certain probability. If the relay is malicious, it will garble transmission signal, resulting in severe damage to cooperative system. In this work, we discuss three kinds of malicious behavior detection. More specifically, we adopt sequential detection to detect the behavior of relay. If tracing symbols are inserted among the source message, the destination detects malicious after extracting the received tracing symbols. We adopt log-likelihood ratio test to examine these tracing symbols, and then determine the behavior of relay. If the source does not transmit tracing symbols, the destination detects misbehavior according to the received data signal. Furthermore, we employ sequential detection to reduce detection time for a given probabilities of false alarm and miss detection. Through simulation results, for a certain target on probability of errors, our proposed methods can effectively reduce numbers of observations. On the other works, the destination can effectively detect misbehavior of relay, and eliminating the damage causes by malicious relay without requiring large numbers of observations.
