    Abstract

    We propose a novel joint user and full-duplex (FD) relay selection (JUFDRS) scheme to enhance physical layer security in a multi-user multi-relay network. In this scheme, the user and the FD decode-and-forward relay are selected such that the capacity of the end-to-end user-relay-destination channel is maximized to ensure the highest quality of cooperative transmission. To fully examine the benefits of the JUFDRS scheme, we derive a new closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability. We show that the JUFDRS scheme significantly outperforms the joint user and half-duplex relay selection (JUHDRS) scheme when the self-interference at the FD relay can be reasonably suppressed. This result indicates that adopting the FD technique at relays can effectively enhance the physical layer secrecy performance in the multi-user multi-relay network.
