Secure Transmission Design for Cognitive Radio Networks With Poisson Distributed Eavesdroppers
In this paper, we study physical layer security
in an underlay cognitive radio (CR) network. We consider
the problem of secure communication between a secondary
transmitter-receiver pair in the presence of randomly distributed
eavesdroppers under an interference constraint set by the primary
user. For different channel knowledge assumptions at the
transmitter, we design four transmission protocols to achieve the
secure transmission in the CR network. We give a comprehensive
performance analysis for each protocol in terms of transmission
delay, security, reliability, and the overall secrecy throughput.
Furthermore, we determine the optimal design parameter for
each transmission protocol by solving the optimization problem
of maximizing the secrecy throughput subject to both security
and reliability constraints. Numerical results illustrate the performance
comparison between different transmission protocols.ARC Discovery Projects Grant DP15010390
Security for 5G Mobile Wireless Networks
The advanced features of 5G mobile wireless network systems yield new security requirements and challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on security of 5G wireless network systems compared to the traditional cellular networks. The paper starts with a review on 5G wireless networks particularities as well as on the new requirements and motivations of 5G wireless security. The potential attacks and security services with the consideration of new service requirements and new use cases in 5G wireless networks are then summarized. The recent development and the existing schemes for the 5G wireless security are presented based on the corresponding security services including authentication, availability, data confidentiality, key management and privacy. The paper further discusses the new security features involving different technologies applied to 5G such as heterogeneous networks, device-to-device communications, massive multiple-input multiple-output, software defined networks and Internet of Things. Motivated by these security research and development activities, we propose a new 5G wireless security architecture, based on which the analysis of identity management and flexible authentication is provided. As a case study, we explore a handover procedure as well as a signaling load scheme to show the advantage of the proposed security architecture. The challenges and future directions of 5G wireless security are finally summarized
Hybrid satellite–terrestrial networks toward 6G : key technologies and open issues
Future wireless networks will be required to provide more wireless services at higher data rates and with global coverage. However, existing homogeneous wireless networks, such as cellular and satellite networks, may not be able to meet such requirements individually, especially in remote terrain, including seas and mountains. One possible solution is to use diversified wireless networks that can exploit the inter-connectivity between satellites, aerial base stations (BSs), and terrestrial BSs over inter-connected space, ground, and aerial networks. Hence, enabling wireless communication in one integrated network has attracted both the industry and the research fraternities. In this work, we provide a comprehensive survey of the most recent work on hybrid satellite–terrestrial networks (HSTNs), focusing on system architecture, performance analysis, design optimization, and secure communication schemes for different cooperative and cognitive HSTN network architectures. Different key technologies are compared. Based on this comparison, several open issues for future research are discussed
