Abstract

A secure energy efficient approach is proposed to connect Internet of Things (IoT) sensors that operate with limited power resources. This is done by optimizing simultaneously the energy efficiency, the communication rate and the network security while limiting the potential data leakage and tracking the finite battery status evolution. The proposed model uses spatial diversity in addition to artificial jamming introduced by an intermediate device to forward the data from the sensors to the destination and to secure the communication links without draining the rechargeable batteries. The energy harvested by the source is also maximized without affecting the security level of the network. The outage secrecy capacity is derived to evaluate the security level. Furthermore, the system power stability is analyzed using Markov chains and statistical approaches to validate the efficiency of the proposed technique in maintaining the system in a self-sufficient mode and making it operate without the assistance of external power resources.
