This paper analyzes the secrecy performance of a two-hop cooperative network with battery-assisted energy harvesting (EH) nodes. Both the source and the relay employ jamming to improve secrecy. A power beacon (PB) supplies energy to the nodes using the harvest-store-use (HSU) architecture. To counter the variation in harvested energy, some battery energy is added to it. Both nodes apportion this sum energy between the information and jamming symbols. We consider the maximal ratio combining (MRC) of the direct and relayed signals at the destination and the eavesdropper. We assume channel state information (CSI) of destination and eavesdropper links are not available at both the source and relay. We derive an approximate expression for secrecy outage probability assuming the selective decode-and-forward (SDF) protocol. We then derive the high-SNR approximation to it. We demonstrate improvement in secrecy performance with an increase in the transmit power of PB. Also, there exists an optimal power apportioning parameter different from equal power allocation that minimizes secrecy outage both at the source and at the relay. Extensive simulations corroborate the derived analytical results.
