On the Application of Noisy Network Coding to the Relay-Eavesdropper   Channel
  In this paper, we consider the design of a new secrecy transmission scheme for a four-node relay-eavesdropper channel. The key idea of the proposed scheme is to combine noisy network coding with the interference assisted strategy for wiretap channel with a helping interferer. A new achievable secrecy rate is characterized for both discrete memoryless and Gaussian channels. Such a new rate can be viewed as a general framework, where the existing interference assisted schemes such as noisy-forwarding and cooperative jamming approaches can be shown as special cases of the proposed scheme. In addition, under some channel condition where the existing schemes can only achieve zero secrecy rate, the proposed secrecy scheme can still offer significant performance gains.
