Achievable Rate of Multi-Antenna WSRNs with EH Constraint in the presence of a Jammer

In this paper, the rate-energy region is studied for the wireless sensor relay network (WSRN) with energy harvesting in the presence of a jammer. In the model, a source communicates to a destination equipped with a single antenna with energy harvesting constraint through a multi-antenna cooperative relay under beamforming. Meanwhile, there is a jammer intended to disturb the communication. The relay works in half-duplex mode and knows all the channel state information (CSI). When beamforming is employed at the relay, the network can be modeled as an equivalent Gaussian arbitrarily varying channel (GAVC). We characterize the achievable rate-energy region. Since the problem is non-convex, we present three methods to transform it into a semi-definite programming problem (SDP), and the closed-form expression for two special boundary points of the rate-energy region is obtained. Finally, the simulations show the rate-energy region and the anti-jamming performance of the proposed scheme.
