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
Spectral Efficiency Analysis of Multi-Cell Massive MIMO Systems with Ricean Fading
This paper investigates the spectral efficiency of multi-cell massive
multiple-input multiple-output systems with Ricean fading that utilize the
linear maximal-ratio combining detector. We firstly present closed-form
expressions for the effective signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR)
with the least squares and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimation
methods, respectively, which apply for any number of base-station antennas
and any Ricean -factor. Also, the obtained results can be particularized in
Rayleigh fading conditions when the Ricean -factor is equal to zero. In the
following, novel exact asymptotic expressions of the effective SINR are derived
in the high and high Ricean -factor regimes. The corresponding analysis
shows that pilot contamination is removed by the MMSE estimator when we
consider both infinite and infinite Ricean -factor, while the pilot
contamination phenomenon persists for the rest of cases. All the theoretical
results are verified via Monte-Carlo simulations.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures, the tenth International Conference on Wireless
