A Survey of Physical Layer Security Techniques for 5G Wireless Networks and Challenges Ahead
Physical layer security which safeguards data confidentiality based on the
information-theoretic approaches has received significant research interest
recently. The key idea behind physical layer security is to utilize the
intrinsic randomness of the transmission channel to guarantee the security in
physical layer. The evolution towards 5G wireless communications poses new
challenges for physical layer security research. This paper provides a latest
survey of the physical layer security research on various promising 5G
technologies, including physical layer security coding, massive multiple-input
multiple-output, millimeter wave communications, heterogeneous networks,
non-orthogonal multiple access, full duplex technology, etc. Technical
challenges which remain unresolved at the time of writing are summarized and
the future trends of physical layer security in 5G and beyond are discussed.Comment: To appear in IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication
Energy Efficiency and Asymptotic Performance Evaluation of Beamforming Structures in Doubly Massive MIMO mmWave Systems
Future cellular systems based on the use of millimeter waves will heavily
rely on the use of antenna arrays both at the transmitter and at the receiver.
For complexity reasons and energy consumption issues, fully digital precoding
and postcoding structures may turn out to be unfeasible, and thus suboptimal
structures, making use of simplified hardware and a limited number of RF
chains, have been investigated. This paper considers and makes a comparative
assessment, both from a spectral efficiency and energy efficiency point of
view, of several suboptimal precoding and postcoding beamforming structures for
a cellular multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) system with large number of antennas.
Analytical formulas for the asymptotic achievable spectral efficiency and for
the global energy efficiency of several beamforming structures are derived in
the large number of antennas regime. Using the most recently available data for
the energy consumption of phase shifters and switches, we show that
fully-digital beamformers may actually achieve a larger energy efficiency than
lower-complexity solutions, as well as that low-complexity beam-steering purely
analog beamforming may in some cases represent a good performance-complexity
trade-off solution.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networkin
Metameric MIMO-OOK transmission scheme using multiple RGB LEDs
In this work, we propose a novel visible light communication (VLC) scheme utilizing multiple di erent red green and blue triplets each with a di erent emission spectrum of red, green and blue for mitigating the e ect of interference due to di erent colors using spatial multiplexing. On-o keying modulation is considered and its e ect on light emission in terms of flickering, dimming and color rendering is discussed so as to demonstrate how metameric properties have been considered. At the receiver, multiple photodiodes with color filter-tuned on each transmit light emitting diode (LED) are employed. Three di erent detection mechanisms of color zero forcing, minimum mean square error estimation and minimum mean square error equalization are then proposed. The system performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated both with computer simulations and tests with an Arduino board implementatio
A Digital Predistortion Scheme Exploiting Degrees-of-Freedom for Massive MIMO Systems
The primary source of nonlinear distortion in wireless transmitters is the
power amplifier (PA). Conventional digital predistortion (DPD) schemes use
high-order polynomials to accurately approximate and compensate for the
nonlinearity of the PA. This is not practical for scaling to tens or hundreds
of PAs in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. There is more
than one candidate precoding matrix in a massive MIMO system because of the
excess degrees-of-freedom (DoFs), and each precoding matrix requires a
different DPD polynomial order to compensate for the PA nonlinearity. This
paper proposes a low-order DPD method achieved by exploiting massive DoFs of
next-generation front ends. We propose a novel indirect learning structure
which adapts the channel and PA distortion iteratively by cascading adaptive
zero forcing precoding and DPD. Our solution uses a 3rd order polynomial to
achieve the same performance as the conventional DPD using an 11th order
polynomial for a 100x10 massive MIMO configuration. Experimental results show a
70% reduction in computational complexity, enabling ultra-low latency
communications.Comment: IEEE International Conference on Communications 201
