This paper studies finding the secure path according to the secrecy connectivity probability (SCP) in the multihop ad hoc networks in the presence of inhomogeneous eavesdropper clusters. We consider both random and fixed eavesdropper clusters, where the former case assumes that there is no knowledge of the locations of the clusters and the latter case assumes that the locations of the clusters can be estimated accurately. First, we derive the end-to-end SCP to characterize the secrecy performance of a given path in a general multihop wireless network with half-duplex randomize-and-forward relaying. Then, we consider a full-duplex scheme at the legitimate receiver, which receives the useful information while broadcasting a jamming signal to the potential eavesdroppers to further enhance the secrecy connectivity. Then, a novel secure routing algorithm that can provide the maximum SCP for any legitimate transmitter/receiver pair in a distributed manner is proposed. The theoretical analysis is verified by Monte Carlo simulation results. The results show that our secure routing algorithm provides similar results compared to an exhaustive search. For the random eavesdropper cluster case, the optimal route is independent of the knowledge of the cluster, which is the same as the homogeneous eavesdropper case. However, for the case where eavesdropper clusters are fixed and their locations are knowna priori, the optimal path selection depends on the radii and locations of the eavesdropper clusters and the average number of eavesdroppers in each cluster.

We propose a joint compressed sensing-based encoding and an iterative-decoding method, which we call turbo compressed sensing (turbo-CS), for the robust to noise transmission of sparse signals over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The turbo-CS encoder applies 1-bit compressed sensing as a source encoder concatenated serially with a convolutional channel encoder. At the turbo-CS decoder, an iterative joint source-channel decoding method is proposed for signal reconstruction. We analyze, for the first time, the convergence of the turbo-CS decoder by determining an extrinsic information transfer chart of the constituent decoders. We modify the soft-outputs of the constituent source decoder to improve the signal reconstruction performance of the turbo-CS decoder. Our results show that for a fixed received signal to noise ratio (RSNR) of \mathbf 10 dB more than \mathbf 5 dB of improvement in the channel SNR is achieved after six iterations of the turbo-CS decoder. Alternatively, for a fixed SNR of \mathbf -1 dB, \mathbf 10 dB improvement in RSNR is achieved. Moreover, it is shown that the turbo-CS decoder outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms for 1-bit compressed sensing reconstruction in the presence of AWGN channel in terms of signal reconstruction performance and complexity.
