    In this work, we investigate the transmission sum rate as well as the secrecy sum rate of indoor visible light communication (VLC) networks for mobile devices with the power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmission, where multiple legitimate users are equipped with photodiodes (PDs). We introduce a body blockage model of the legitimate users as well as the eavesdropper to focus on the case where the communications from transmitting light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to receiving devices are blocked by the bodies of receiving users. Furthermore, in order to improve the secrecy without any knowledge of the channel state information (CSI) of the eavesdropper, a novel LED arrangement is introduced to reduce the overlapping area covered by LED units supporting different users. We also propose two LED operation strategies, called simple and smart LED linking, and evaluate their performance against the conventional broadcasting in terms of transmission sum rate and secrecy sum rate. Through computer simulations, the superiority of our proposed strategies is demonstrated.Comment: 30 pages, 13 figures. This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication.

    Biometric Identification Systems with Noisy Enrollment for Gaussian Sources and Channels

    No full text
    In the present paper, we investigate the fundamental trade-off of identification, secret-key, storage, and privacy-leakage rates in biometric identification systems for remote or hidden Gaussian sources. We use a technique of converting the system to one where the data flow is in one-way direction to derive the capacity region of these rates. Also, we provide numerical calculations of three different examples for the system. The numerical results imply that it seems hard to achieve both high secret-key and small privacy-leakage rates simultaneously
