Directional Modulation

Directional modulation (DM), as an emerging promising physical layer security (PLS) technique at the transmitter side with the help of an antenna array, has developed rapidly over decades. In this study, a DM technique using a polarization sensitive array (PSA) to produce the modulation with different polarization states (PSs) at different directions is investigated. A PSA, as a vector sensor, can be employed for more effective DM for an additional degree of freedom (DOF) provided in the polarization domain. The polarization information can be exploited to transmit different data streams simultaneously at the same directions, same frequency, but with different PSs in the desired directions to increase the channel capacity, and with random PSs off the desired directions to enhance PLS. The proposed method has the capability of concurrently projecting independent signals into different specified spatial directions while simultaneously distorting signal constellation in all other directions. The symbol error rate (SER), secrecy rate, and the robustness of the proposed DM scheme are analyzed. Design examples for single- and multi-beam DM systems are also presented. Simulations corroborate that (1) the proposed method is more effective for PLS; (2) the proposed DM scheme is more power-efficient than the traditional artificial noise aided DM schemes; and (3) the channel capacity is significantly improved compared with conventional scalar antenna arrays.

Due to the complexity of wireless communication networks and the open nature of wireless links, complex upper layer network encryption cryptographic algorithms are also difficult to implement effectively in complex mobile wireless communication and interconnection networks, and traditional cryptography-based security policies are gradually not well able to meet the security management needs of today’s mobile Internet information era. In this paper, the physical characteristics of the channel in the wireless channel are extracted and used to generate keys, and then, the keys are negotiated so that the keys generated by the two communicating parties are identical. Then, the generated keys are used by the communicating parties to design the interleaving matrix for encryption of the message. The false bit rate of the system is investigated for the case of an interleaving matrix generated using different quantization methods of keys. The problem of characterizing the encoding and encryption techniques for interleaving keys for the physical layer sensing antenna arrays of wireless channels is studied in depth. The physical layer wireless channel interleaving technique and the wireless channel physical layer encryption technique are organically combined, and a joint interleaving encryption method based on the physical layer key of the wireless channel is designed and used to encrypt and randomize the physical layer data information of the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system, which improves the security and reliability of the wireless channel information transmission. The effect of physical layer keys under different physical layer quantization methods on the performance of the wireless channel interleaving encryption algorithm is studied, and the quantization methods of pure amplitude, pure phase, and joint amplitude phase are investigated for the characteristics of wireless physical layer channels.

Vehicular Communication

The small carrier wavelength at millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequencies features a large number of co-located antennas. Wireless networks with directional antennas using beamforming at mm-wave also have potential to provide an enhanced security in the vehicular communication system. Large bandwidth of mm-wave can provide auto drive and safety linked functionalities, However, safety and efficiency of the vehicular transportation system can be jeopardized by many kinds of attacks by eavesdroppers, physical layer security can work as an extra layer of security for wireless communication systems. To secure communication in-between Vehicles, an Analog precoding based physical Layer technique for mm-wave vehicular communication systems is presented in the paper. The proposed technique works by exploiting large Antenna arrays at millimeter waves and provide a secure directional transmission with low power consuming phase shifters and single Radio Frequency Chain. Larger antennas arrays are split into two subsets, one for transmission of data and another for generating noise. The proposed technique offers improved coherent transmission at the legitimate receiver and by introducing artificial noise to the eavesdroppers at random directions. This outcome in low SNR for the eavesdroppers, hence hacking information becomes extremely difficult. Numerical and Simulation results show the superior performance of the proposed technique compared to traditional physical layer security technique and conventional array technique.
