On secure system performance over SISO, MISO and MIMO-NOMA wireless networks equipped a multiple antenna based on TAS protocol
This study examined how to improve system performance by equipping multiple antennae at a base station (BS) and all terminal users/mobile devices instead of a single antenna as in previous studies. Experimental investigations based on three NOMA down-link models involved (1) a single-input-single-output (SISO) scenario in which a single antenna was equipped at a BS and for all users, (2) a multi-input-single-output (MISO) scenario in which multiple transmitter antennae were equipped at a BS and a single receiver antenna for all users and (3) a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) scenario in which multiple transmitter antennae were equipped at a BS and multiple receiver antenna for all users. This study investigated and compared the outage probability (OP) and system throughput assuming all users were over Rayleigh fading channels. The individual scenarios also each had an eavesdropper. Secure system performance of the individual scenarios was therefore also investigated. In order to detect data from superimposed signals, successive interference cancellation (SIC) was deployed for users, taking into account perfect, imperfect and fully imperfect SICs. The results of analysis of users in these three scenarios were obtained in an approximate closed form by using the Gaussian-Chebyshev quadrature method. However, the clearly and accurately presented results obtained using Monte Carlo simulations prove and verify that the MIMO-NOMA scenario equipped with multiple antennae significantly improved system performance.Web of Science20201art. no. 1
Short-Packet Communications for MIMO NOMA Systems over Nakagami-m Fading: BLER and Minimum Blocklength Analysis
Recently, ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) using
short-packets has been proposed to fulfill the stringent requirements regarding
reliability and latency of emerging applications in 5G and beyond networks. In
addition, multiple-input multiple-output non-orthogonal multiple access (MIMO
NOMA) is a potential candidate to improve the spectral efficiency, reliability,
latency, and connectivity of wireless systems. In this paper, we investigate
short-packet communications (SPC) in a multiuser downlink MIMO NOMA system over
Nakagami-m fading, and propose two antenna-user selection methods considering
two clusters of users having different priority levels. In contrast to the
widely-used long data-packet assumption, the SPC analysis requires the redesign
of the communication protocols and novel performance metrics. Given this
context, we analyze the SPC performance of MIMO NOMA systems using the average
block error rate (BLER) and minimum blocklength, instead of the conventional
metrics such as ergodic capacity and outage capacity. More specifically, to
characterize the system performance regarding SPC, asymptotic (in the high
signal-to-noise ratio regime) and approximate closed-form expressions of the
average BLER at the users are derived. Based on the asymptotic behavior of the
average BLER, an analysis of the diversity order, minimum blocklength, and
optimal power allocation is carried out. The achieved results show that MIMO
NOMA can serve multiple users simultaneously using a smaller blocklength
compared with MIMO OMA, thus demonstrating the benefits of MIMO NOMA for SPC in
minimizing the transmission latency. Furthermore, our results indicate that the
proposed methods not only improve the BLER performance but also guarantee full
diversity gains for the respective users.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures. This paper has been submitted to an IEEE journal

On secure NOMA systems with transmit antenna selection schemes
This paper investigates the secrecy performance of a two-user downlink non-orthogonal multiple access systems. Both single-input and single-output and multiple-input and single-output systems with different transmit antenna selection (TAS) strategies are considered. Depending on whether the base station has the global channel state information of both the main and wiretap channels, the exact closed-form expressions for the secrecy outage probability (SOP) with suboptimal antenna selection and optimal antenna selection schemes are obtained and compared with the traditional space-time transmission scheme. To obtain further insights, the asymptotic analysis of the SOP in high average channel power gains regime is presented and it is found that the secrecy diversity order for all the TAS schemes with fixed power allocation is zero. Furthermore, an effective power allocation scheme is proposed to obtain the non-zero diversity order with all the TAS schemes. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to verify the proposed analytical results
Approaching K-means for multiantenna UAV positioning in combination with a max-SIC-min-rate framework to enable aerial IoT networks
In long-range wireless communication networks, the fading channels described in channel state information are strongly related to distance and the path loss exponent and represent a major challenge in delivering the performance required to support emerging applications. Conveniently, multiple antennas and cooperative relays are efficient solutions that can combat fading channels, thereby improving networking capacity and transmission reliability. This study investigated the use of multi-antenna unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)s as aerial Internet of Things (IoT) relays and employed their direct line-of-sight benefits to assist IoT wireless networks. To improve the outage probability, system throughput, and energy efficiency (EE), we first considered a combination of transmit antenna selection at the transmitter and the selection combining technique at the receiver to determine the best channel from the pre-coding channel matrix. Using a practical model in a three-dimensional earth environment in combination with the K-means algorithm, we then investigated optimal UAV placement to obtain optimal channel state information for the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) -IoT device cluster globally, thereby ensuring the quality of service for the IoT devices. We introduced a max-successive interference cancellation-min-rate framework for non-ordered NOMA devices, thus deriving theoretical expressions in novel closed forms for two independent scenarios: (i) Rayleigh and (ii) Nakagami- m fading channels. By optimizing the UAV placement, the investigated results applied to the UAV scheme delivered better performance in a NOMA-IoT network than in a terrestrial relay (TR) scheme. Finally, the study examines a variety of models and presents algorithms for Monte Carlo simulations to verify the theoretical results.Web of Science1011517811515
Secure Analysis of Multi-Antenna Cooperative Networks with Residual Transceiver HIs and CEEs
In this paper, we investigate the secure performance of multi-antenna decode-and-forward (DF) relaying networks where the Nakagami-m fading channel is taken into account. In practice, the joint impact of residual transceiver hardware impairments (HIs) and channel estimation errors (CEEs) on the outage probability and intercept probability is taken into account. Considering HIs and CEEs, an optimal transmit antenna selection (OTAS) scheme is proposed to enhance the secure performance and then a collaborative eavesdropping scheme is proposed. Additionally, we present main channel capacity and intercept capacity of the multi-antenna DF relaying networks. More specifically, we derive exact closed-form expressions for the outage and intercept probabilities. To obtain useful insights into implications of parameters on the secure performance, the asymptotic behaviors for the outage probability are examined in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime and the diversity orders are obtained and discussed. Simulation results confirm the analytical derivations and demonstrate that: 1) As the power distribution coefficient increases, OP decreases, while IP increases; 2) There exist error floors for the outage probability at high SNRs, which is determined by CEEs; 3) The secure performance can be improved by increasing the number of source antennas and artificial noise quantization coefficient, while as the number of eavesdropping increases, the security performance of the system is reduced; 4) There is a trade-off between the outage probability and intercept probability
