The secrecy performance of a wireless‐powered relaying system is investigated in the presence of imperfect channel state information. To improve the system secrecy performance, the destination splits a part of power to transmit the cooperative interference signal while the source transmits confidential information to the relay. The relay is assumed to be equipped with a non‐linear energy harvester and to harvest energy from the source and destination for information processing. A joint power splitting and time allocation scheme is studied to maximise the system secrecy rate. The joint optimisation problem is dealt with by the interior‐point method. For the sake of comparison, the equal time allocation scheme and the equal power splitting scheme are also investigated. The numerical results verify that the proposed scheme could achieve higher secrecy rate.
