With the exponential increase of interconnected communicating devices which make up the Internet of Things (IoT), securing the network transmission and the fifth generation (5G) systems which is the bedrock for IoT concept actualization is becoming more and more challenging. One of the major attacks which poses a great risk to data transmission is the eavesdropper (Eve) attack which occurs in both single input, single output (SISO), multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) systems. Thus, in this study, our focus is to establish a secured connection in a multiple-antenna transmission when the channel state information (CSI) of Eve is unknown to the network users. Our model comprises a secure wireless communication standard where Eve performs either optimal matched filtering (OMF) or a basic matched filtering (BMF) while the transmitting IoT node employs smart jamming strategy in order to compromise the activities of Eve. With respect to this and in attempt to realize maximum privacy, we examined the design of optimal jamming parameters. In the end, the numerical analysis of our investigation indicates that a substantial privacy advantage is achievable while utilizing only full-duplex jamming against using artificial noise from the transmitter only. However, a joint performance of both results shows a higher privacy improvement.
