Interference Signal Superposition-aided MIMO with Antenna Number Modulation and Adaptive Antenna Selection for Achieving Perfect Secrecy (original) (raw)
2021, RS Open Journal on Innovative Communication Technologies
In this paper, a novel secure data transmission method called interference signal superposition-aided multiple-input multiple-output with antenna number modulation and adaptive antenna selection (ISS-MIMO-ANM-AAS) is presented to defend transmission systems against eavesdropping attacks or to share secret information between two communication parties in scenarios, where perfect secrecy and ultimate confidentiality are required to be achieved. In the proposed method, while data is transmitted to the legitimate receiver by exploiting the features of MIMO-ANM through transmitting additional data bits with the number of active antennas along with those bits sent by using conventional M-PSK/QAM modulation, the data that the eavesdropper receives is aimed to be mixed by an interference signal superposed (ISS) with the original signal to eliminate the possible wiretapping activities. The conducted theoretical analysis along with the obtained numerical simulations for the proposed ISS-MIMO-ANM-AAS method proves the effectiveness of the scheme, where MIMO-ANM transmission is shown to be fully secured through the ISS algorithm. Thus, the introduced ISS-MIMO-ANM-AAS method can be considered a strong potential candidate method for scenarios where ultra-security is the main requirement of wireless systems including WiFi, 5G, 6G, and beyond technologies.

The Secure Degrees of Freedom of the MIMO BC and MIMO MAC with Multiple Unknown Eavesdroppers
Qatar Foundation Annual Research Conference Proceedings Volume 2016 Issue 1, 2016
We investigate the secure degrees of freedom (SDoF) of a two-transmitter Gaussian multiple access channel with multiple antennas at the transmitters, a legitimate receiver and an unknown number of eavesdroppers each with a number of antennas less than or equal to a known value NE. The channel matrices between the legitimate transmitters and the receiver are available everywhere, while the legitimate pair have no information about the fading eavesdroppers’ channels. We provide the exact sum SDoF for the considered system. We show that it is equal to min(M1 + M2 − NE, 1/2(max(M1;N2 + max(M2;N) − NE,N). A new comprehensive upperbound is deduced and a new achievable scheme based on utilizing jamming is exploited. We prove that Cooperative Jamming is SDoF optimal even without the eavesdropper CSI available at the transmitters.
Designing IRS-Aided MIMO Systems for Secrecy Enhancement
2021
Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) enable multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmitters to modify the communication channels between the transmitters and receivers. In the presence of eavesdropping terminals, this degree of freedom can be used to effectively suppress the information leakage towards such malicious terminals. This leads to significant potential secrecy gains in IRS-aided MIMO systems. This work exploits these gains via a tractable joint design of downlink beamformers and IRS phase-shifts. In this respect, we consider a generic IRS-aided MIMO wiretap setting and invoke fractional programming and alternating optimization techniques to iteratively find the beamformers and phase-shifts that maximize the achievable weighted secrecy sum-rate. Our design concludes two low-complexity algorithms for joint beamforming and phase-shift tuning. Performance of the proposed algorithms are numerically evaluated and compared to the benchmark. The results reveal that integrati...
Secure Wireless Communications Based On Antenna Array Elements
Configuration of antenna array system to offer directional dependent modulation has the capability of enhancing the security level of data transmission against eavesdroppers' attacks. In this paper, Frequency diverse array (FDA) antenna for physical-layer security in wireless communications has been proposed. The proposed method provide a range and angle dependent directional modulation scheme using FDA with frequency increments to improve physical-layer security point-to-point communications. It maintains the objective of changing the progressive phase shifts at each symbol transmission. Thus the emitted pattern at each symbol transmission period will be range and angle dependent. Consequently, the proposed method offers a robust physical-layer security for wireless transmission, as the transmitted signal will be deliberately distorted along the undesired positions, but can be successfully decoded by the intended receiver position. Numerical results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
