Covert Information Mapped Spatial and Directional Modulation toward Secure Wireless Transmission

Recently, the concept of spatial and direction modulation (SDM) has been developed to reap the advantages of both spatial modulation (SM) and directional modulation (DM). On the one hand, DM ensures the transmission security at the expected direction. On the other hand, the structure of SM-aided distributed receivers can enhance the security even if the eavesdropper is located in the same direction as the legitimate receiver. However, the above advantages are achieved based on the assumption that the eavesdropper is not equipped with distributed receivers. On the other hand, the information security can no longer be guaranteed when the eavesdropper is also equipped with distributed receivers. To alleviate this problem, we considered a joint design of SDM and covert information mapping (CIM) in order to conceive of a more robust structure of CIM-SDM. Furthermore, both the detection performances at the eavesdropper and the legitimate user were quantified through theoretical derivation. In general, both the analysis and simulation results supported that the proposed CIM-SDM structure provides more robust secure performance compared to the original SDM, even if the extreme condition of distributed receivers at the eavesdropper is considered, at the cost of moderate performance loss at the legitimate user.

Research on 5G Video Security Communication Technology Based on Massive MIMO

Background: To study a large number of classified and sensitive information transmission security issues brought by 5G mobile communication system. Methods: In this paper, the principle of beamforming and its shortcomings are introduced by combining the large-scale MIMO technology and directional modulation technology. The directional modulation technology based on antenna subset selection and a hybrid array is introduced to realize the safe transmission target. The results show that large-scale MIMO technology has become a key technology of 5G mobile communication. Still the factors such as multipath fading in the actual wireless channel have not been fully considered, and the accurate estimation error of channel state information (CSI) will affect the ideal security level it can achieve. Results: The combined application of massive MIMO technology and directional modulation technology in the 5G system brings security to its communication. Conclusion : Directional modulation technology based on signal modulation has become an important research point of the 5G system because it does not need to consider the eavesdropper's computing power and can achieve the purpose of safe transmission by disturbing the signal constellation in an unexpected direction.
