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
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
