Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access and Artificial-Noise Aided Secure Transmission in FD Relay Networks
In this paper, we investigate an artificial-noise (AN)
aided secure transmission for non-orthogonal multiple access
(NOMA) full-duplex (FD) relay network. We propose a novel
joint NOMA and AN-aided full-duplex relay (NOMA-ANFDR)
scheme to enhance the physical security. In this scheme, the
optimal power allocation between the information and the AN
signal is determined such that the capacity of the two end-to-end
(i.e., two source-relay-destination pairs) channel are maximized
to ensure the highest quality of cooperative transmission. To fully
examine the benefits of the NOMA-ANFDR scheme, we derive a
new closed-form expression for the secrecy outage probability. We
show that the NOMA-ANFDR scheme significantly outperforms
the joint NOMA and AN in half-duplex relay (NOMA-ANHDR)
scheme as well as the NOMA-HDR scheme in terms of minimum
secrecy outage probability and effect secrecy throughout. This
result indicates that adopting the joint of FD and AN technique
at relays can effectively enhance the physical layer secrecy
performance in the NOMA cooperative network.ARC Discovery Projects Grant DP150103905
Physical layer security enhancement in multi-user multi-full-duplex-relay networks
We propose a novel joint user and full-duplex (FD)
relay selection (JUFDRS) scheme to enhance physical layer
security in a multi-user multi-relay network. In this scheme, the
user and the FD decode-and-forward relay are selected such
that the capacity of the end-to-end channel (i.e., the user-relaydestination
channel) is maximized to ensure the highest quality of
cooperative transmission. In order to fully examine the benefits
of the JUFDRS scheme, we derive a new closed-form expression
for the secrecy outage probability. We show that the JUFDRS
scheme significantly outperforms the joint user and half-duplex
relay selection (JUHDRS) scheme when the self-interference at
the FD relay can be reasonably suppressed. This result indicates
that adopting the FD technique at relays can effectively enhance
the physical layer secrecy performance in the multi-user multirelay
network.ARC Discovery Projects Grant DP150103905
TAS-Based Incremental Hybrid DecodeāAmplifyāForward Relaying for Physical Layer Security Enhancement
In this paper, a transmit antenna selection (TAS)-
based incremental hybrid decode-amplify-forward (IHDAF)
scheme is proposed to enhance physical layer security in cooperative
relay networks. Specifically, TAS is adopted at the
source in order to reduce the feedback overhead. In the proposed
TAS-based IHDAF scheme, the network transmits signals to the
destination adaptive select direction transmission mode, AF mode
or DF mode depending on the capacity of the source-relay link
and source-relay link. In order to fully examine the benefits
of the proposed TAS-based IHDAF scheme, we first derive its
secrecy outage probability (SOP) in a closed-form expression. We
then conduct asymptotic analysis on the SOP, which reveals the
secrecy performance floor of the proposed TAS-based IHDAF
scheme when no channel state information is available at the
source. Theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate
that the proposed TAS-based IHDAF scheme outperforms the
selective decode-and-forward (SDF), the incremental decodeand-forward
(IDF), and the noncooperative direction transmission
(DT) schemes in terms of the SOP and effective secrecy
throughout, especially when the relay is close to the destination.
Furthermore, the proposed TAS-based IHDAF scheme offer a
good trade-off between complexity and performance compare
with using all antennas at the source.ARC Discovery Projects Grant DP150103905
Aggregation-induced emission fluorogens as biomarkers to assess the viability of microalgae in aquatic ecosystems
Open Access Article. This article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence.Microalgae can be a valuable indicator for monitoring water pollution due to their sensitivity to the changes induced by pollutants in the environment. In this study, an aggregation-induced emission fluorogen was used as a novel tool to differentiate dead and live microalgae and quantify the link between live algal concentration and fluorogen intensity. Protein in the cell protoplasm is the key component contributing to fluorescence emission in algae
Vortex-Induced Vibration of a Marine Riser: Numerical Simulation and Mechanism Understanding
Marine riser is a key equipment connecting a floating platform and a seabed wellhead. Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is the main cause of the fatigue damage of the riser. The prediction of marine riser VIV is very difficult because of its strong non-linearity, instability and uncertainty. In recent years, many numerical models of VIV of marine riser have been developed to explore the mechanism of marine riser VIV, providing scientific theoretical basis and practical engineering methods for vibration control and engineering design of marine riser. Combined with the authorsā own recent research, this chapter discusses the research progress on marine riser VIV in the ocean engineering, including phenomenon mechanism analysis and different numerical research methods
Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE), Life and Health
Light has profoundly impacted modern medicine and healthcare, with numerous luminescent agents and imaging techniques currently being used to assess health and treat diseases. As an emerging concept in luminescence, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has shown great potential in biological applications due to its advantages in terms of brightness, biocompatibility, photostability, and positive correlation with concentration. This review provides a comprehensive summary of AIE luminogens applied in imaging of biological structure and dynamic physiological processes, disease diagnosis and treatment, and detection and monitoring of specific analytes, followed by representative works. Discussions on critical issues and perspectives on future directions are also included. This review aims to stimulate the interest of researchers from different fields, including chemistry, biology, materials science, medicine, etc., thus promoting the development of AIE in the fields of life and health
A leakageābased hybrid beamforming design for multiāuser mmWave massive MIMO systems
Abstract In massive multipleāinput multipleāoutput systems, hybrid beamforming (HBF) is an attractive technique due to its excellent tradeoff between system performance and hardware implementation cost. In this paper, the signalātoāleakageāplusānoise ratio is considered as the optimization criterion and investigate the HBF design for multiāuser millimetreāwave massive multipleāinput multipleāoutput systems. To overcome the difficulty of solving the multiāvariable design problem, a novel twoāstage HBF scheme to optimize the analogue and digital beamformers are proposed. In particular, an orthogonal matching pursuitābased method and a joint design method are introduced respectively to find the solution in the analogue stage. Then, in the digital stage, the digital precoder and combiner are designed to suppress the interāuser interference plus noise, aiming at maximizing the sumāsignalātoāleakageāplusānoise ratio of multiāuser systems. Simulation results show that the proposed HBF scheme with lower complexity can achieve superior performance over the existing HBF schemes. Moreover, it is also indicated that the performance of the HBF scheme remains strong even with the imperfect channel stateĀ information
