Abstract
In this paper, we study an intelligent secure communication scheme for cognitive networks with multiple primary transmit power, where a secondary Alice transmits its secrecy data to a secondary Bob threatened by a secondary attacker. The secondary nodes limit their transmit power among multiple levels, in order to maintain the quality of service of the primary networks. The attacker can work in an eavesdropping, spoofing, jamming or silent mode, which can be viewed as the action in the traditional Q-learning algorithm. On the other hand, the system can adaptively choose the transmit power level among multiple ones to suppress the intelligent attacker, which can be viewed as the status of Q-learning algorithm. Accordingly, we firstly formulate this secure communication problem as a static secure communication game with Nash equilibrium (NE) between the main links and attacker, and then employ the Q-learning algorithm to select the transmit power level. Simulation results are finally demonstrated to verify that the intelligent attacker can be effectively suppressed by the proposed studies in this paper.
