In this paper, we studies secure wireless transmission using polar codes which based on self-coupling encryption for relay-wiretap channel. The coding scheme proposed in this paper divide the confidential message into two parts, one part used to generate key through a specific extension method, and then use key to perform coupling encryption processing on another part of the confidential message to obtain the ciphertext. The ciphertext is transmitted in the split-channels which are good for relay node, legitimate receiver and eavesdropper at the same time. Legitimate receiver can restore key with the assistance of relay node, and then uses the joint successive cancellation decoding algorithm to restore confidential message. Even if eavesdropper can correctly decode the ciphertext, he still cannot restore the confidential message due to the lack of key. Simulation results show that compared with the previous work, our coding scheme can increase the average code rate to some extent on the premise of ensuring the reliability and security of transmission.
