Abstract
In physical layer security, imperfect time synchronization results in random mismatch between the received cooperative jamming (CJ) and the reconstructed CJ, leading to performance degradation of CJ cancellation at the authorized receiver. In this letter, the CJ cancellation performance with imperfect time synchronization is analyzed and evaluated by jamming cancellation ratio (JCR). Then, by assuming that the timing error is uniformly distributed within the synchronization accuracy, the expectation and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of JCR are provided. Experimental results confirm the theoretical analysis that imperfect time synchronization causes dramatic performance degradation of CJ cancellation, especially for high jamming-to-noise ratio (JNR).
