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
A Tutorial on Nonorthogonal Multiple Access for 5G and Beyond
Today's wireless networks allocate radio resources to users based on the
orthogonal multiple access (OMA) principle. However, as the number of users
increases, OMA based approaches may not meet the stringent emerging
requirements including very high spectral efficiency, very low latency, and
massive device connectivity. Nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) principle
emerges as a solution to improve the spectral efficiency while allowing some
degree of multiple access interference at receivers. In this tutorial style
paper, we target providing a unified model for NOMA, including uplink and
downlink transmissions, along with the extensions tomultiple inputmultiple
output and cooperative communication scenarios. Through numerical examples, we
compare the performances of OMA and NOMA networks. Implementation aspects and
open issues are also detailed.Comment: 25 pages, 10 figure
Performance Analysis of SSK-NOMA
In this paper, we consider the combination between two promising techniques:
space-shift keying (SSK) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for future
radio access networks. We analyze the performance of SSK-NOMA networks and
provide a comprehensive analytical framework of SSK-NOMA regarding bit error
probability (BEP), ergodic capacity and outage probability. It is worth
pointing out all analysis also stand for conventional SIMO-NOMA networks. We
derive closed-form exact average BEP (ABEP) expressions when the number of
users in a resource block is equal to i.e., . Nevertheless, we analyze the
ABEP of users when the number of users is more than i.e., , and derive
bit-error-rate (BER) union bound since the error propagation due to iterative
successive interference canceler (SIC) makes the exact analysis intractable.
Then, we analyze the achievable rate of users and derive exact ergodic capacity
of the users so the ergodic sum rate of the system in closed-forms. Moreover,
we provide the average outage probability of the users exactly in the
closed-form. All derived expressions are validated via Monte Carlo simulations
and it is proved that SSK-NOMA outperforms conventional NOMA networks in terms
of all performance metrics (i.e., BER, sum rate, outage). Finally, the effect
of the power allocation (PA) on the performance of SSK-NOMA networks is
investigated and the optimum PA is discussed under BER and outage constraints
Research Issues, Challenges, and Opportunities of Wireless Power Transfer-Aided Full-Duplex Relay Systems
We present a comprehensive review for wireless power transfer (WPT)-aided full-duplex (FD) relay systems. Two critical challenges in implementing WPT-aided FD relay systems are presented, that is, pseudo FD realization and high power consumption. Existing time-splitting or power-splitting structure based-WPT-aided FD relay systems can only realize FD operation in one of the time slots or only forward part of the received signal to the destination, belonging to pseudo FD realization. Besides, self-interference is treated as noise and self-interference cancellation (SIC) operation incurs high power consumption at the FD relay node. To this end, a promising solution is outlined to address the two challenges, which realizes consecutive FD realization at all times and forwards all the desired signal to the destination for decoding. Also, active SIC, that is, analog/digital cancellation, is not required by the proposed solution, which effectively reduces the circuit complexity and releases high power consumption at the FD relay node. Specific classifications and performance metrics of WPT-aided FD relay systems are summarized. Some future research is also envisaged for WPT-aided FD systems
Performance analysis of spatial modulation aided NOMA with full-duplex relay
A spatial modulation aided non-orthogonal multiple access with full-duplex relay (SM-NOMA-FDR) scheme is proposed for the coordinated direct and relay transmission in this paper. Specifically, the signal of the near user is mapped to an M-ary modulated symbol and the signal of the far user is mapped to an SM symbol. The base station first transmits signals to the near user and relay via SM-NOMA, and then the relay decodes and retransmits the signal of the far user. An SM-assisted FDR is used in this scheme to improve the spectral efficiency while reducing energy consumption and making full use of the antenna resources at the relay, since SM only activates one antenna in each transmission. We derive the ergodic capacity and bit error rate of the proposed scheme over independent Rayleigh fading channels. Numerical results validate the accuracy of the theoretical analysis and show the superior performance of the proposed SM-NOMA-FDR scheme
