Sparse Signal Processing Concepts for Efficient 5G System Design
As it becomes increasingly apparent that 4G will not be able to meet the
emerging demands of future mobile communication systems, the question what
could make up a 5G system, what are the crucial challenges and what are the key
drivers is part of intensive, ongoing discussions. Partly due to the advent of
compressive sensing, methods that can optimally exploit sparsity in signals
have received tremendous attention in recent years. In this paper we will
describe a variety of scenarios in which signal sparsity arises naturally in 5G
wireless systems. Signal sparsity and the associated rich collection of tools
and algorithms will thus be a viable source for innovation in 5G wireless
system design. We will discribe applications of this sparse signal processing
paradigm in MIMO random access, cloud radio access networks, compressive
channel-source network coding, and embedded security. We will also emphasize
important open problem that may arise in 5G system design, for which sparsity
will potentially play a key role in their solution.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in IEEE Acces
UAV Swarm-Enabled Aerial CoMP: A Physical Layer Security Perspective
Unlike aerial base station enabled by a single unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV),
aerial coordinated multiple points (CoMP) can be enabled by a UAV swarm. In
this case, the management of multiple UAVs is important. This paper considers
the power allocation strategy for a UAV swarm-enabled aerial network to enhance
the physical layer security of the downlink transmission, where an eavesdropper
moves following the trajectory of the swarm for better eavesdropping. Unlike
existing works, we use only the large-scale channel state information (CSI) and
maximize the secrecy throughput in a whole-trajectory-oriented manner. The
overall transmission energy constraint on each UAV and the total transmission
duration for all the legitimate users are considered. The non-convexity of the
formulated problem is solved by using max-min optimization with iteration. Both
the transmission power of desired signals and artificial noise (AN) are derived
iteratively. Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of
our proposed power allocation algorithm and to show the advantage of aerial
CoMP by using only the large-scale CSI
Principles of Physical Layer Security in Multiuser Wireless Networks: A Survey
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the domain of physical layer
security in multiuser wireless networks. The essential premise of
physical-layer security is to enable the exchange of confidential messages over
a wireless medium in the presence of unauthorized eavesdroppers without relying
on higher-layer encryption. This can be achieved primarily in two ways: without
the need for a secret key by intelligently designing transmit coding
strategies, or by exploiting the wireless communication medium to develop
secret keys over public channels. The survey begins with an overview of the
foundations dating back to the pioneering work of Shannon and Wyner on
information-theoretic security. We then describe the evolution of secure
transmission strategies from point-to-point channels to multiple-antenna
systems, followed by generalizations to multiuser broadcast, multiple-access,
interference, and relay networks. Secret-key generation and establishment
protocols based on physical layer mechanisms are subsequently covered.
Approaches for secrecy based on channel coding design are then examined, along
with a description of inter-disciplinary approaches based on game theory and
stochastic geometry. The associated problem of physical-layer message
authentication is also introduced briefly. The survey concludes with
observations on potential research directions in this area.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figures, 303 refs. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Optimization techniques for reliable data communication in multi-antenna wireless systems
This thesis looks at new methods of achieving reliable data communication in wireless communication systems using different antenna transmission optimization methods. In particular, the problems of exploitation of MIMO communication channel diversity, secure downlink beamforming techniques, adaptive beamforming techniques, resource allocation methods, simultaneous power and information transfer and energy harvesting within the context
