Wireless Physical Layer Security with Imperfect Channel State Information: A Survey

Physical layer security is an emerging technique for improving wireless communication security, which is widely regarded as a complement to cryptographic technologies. To design physical layer security techniques for practical scenarios, uncertainty and imperfections in the channel knowledge need to be taken into account. This paper is a survey of recent research on physical layer security that considers imperfect channel state information （CSI） at communication nodes. We first give an overview of the main information-theoretic measures of secrecy performance with imperfect CSI. Then, we describe several signal processing enhancements in secure transmission designs. These enhancements include secure on-off transmission, beamforming with artificial noise, and secure communication assisted by relay nodes or in cognitive radio systems. Recent studies of physical layer security in large-scale decentralized wireless networks are also summarized. Finally, open problems for on-going and future research are discussed.

Imperfect Channel State Information of AF and DF Energy Harvesting Cooperative Networks

Wireless information and powered transfer networks(WIPT) has recently been implemented in 5th generation wireless networks. In this paper, we consider half-duplex relaying system in which the energy constrained relay node collects energy via radio frequency(RF) signals from the surrounding resources. Regarding energy harvesting protocol, we propose power time switching-based relaying(PTSR) architecture for both amplify-and-forward(AF) and decode-and-forward(DF). Especially, we reveal the analytical expressions of achievable throughput, ergodic capacity and energy-efficient in case of imperfect channel state information(CSI) for both AF and DF network. Through numerical analysis, we analyse the throughput performance, energy-efficient and ergodic capacity for different parameters, including power splitting ratio and energy harvesting time. Moreover, we also depict the performance comparison between AF and DF network with perfect and imperfect CSI. The results in numerical analysis reveal that the result of AF relaying network is less significant than DF relaying network in the various scenarios.

Outage performance of cognitive multisource multidestination relay networks with imperfect channel state information and interference from primary transmitter

Given imperfect channel state information(CSI)and considering the interference from the primary transmitter,an underlay cognitive multisource multidestination relay network is proposed.A closed-form exact outage probability and asymptotic outage probability are derived for the secondary system of the network.The results show that the outage probability is influenced by the source and destination number,the CSI imperfection as well as the interference from the primary transmitter,while the diversity order is independent of the CSI imperfection and the interference from the primary transmitter,yet it is equal to the minimum of the source and destination number.Moreover,extensive simulations are conducted with different system parameters to verify the theoretical analysis.

Adaptive Energy-Efficient Power Allocation for DAS with Imperfect Channel State Information and Antenna Selection

Considering that perfect channel state information(CSI) is difficult to obtain in practice,energy efficiency(EE) for distributed antenna systems(DAS) based on imperfect CSI and antennas selection is investigated in Rayleigh fading channel.A novel EE that is defined as the average transmission rate divided by the total consumed power is introduced.In accordance with this definition,an adaptive power allocation(PA) scheme for DAS is proposed to maximize the EE under the maximum transmit power constraint.The solution of PA in the constrained EE optimization does exist and is unique.A practical iterative algorithm with Newton method is presented to obtain the solution of PA.The proposed scheme includes the one under perfect CSI as a special case,and it only needs large scale and statistical information.As a result,the scheme has low overhead and good robustness.The theoretical EE is also derived for performance evaluation,and simulation result shows the validity of the theoretical analysis.Moreover,EE can be enhanced by decreasing the estimation error and/or path loss exponents.

Robust MIMO Precoding for Cognitive Multiuser Relay Networks with Imperfect Channel State Information

In this paper, a novel robust precoder with imperfect channel state information(CSI)is proposed for multi-input multi-output(MIMO)cognitive multiuser networks equipped with relays. In the proposed model, the secondary users(SUs)are allowed to share the spectrum with the primary users(PUs)when the interference temperature(IT)is below a specific threshold. The transmitting strategy of relays is amplify-and-forward(AF), and the CSI error is characterized in terms of spherical uncertainty region. A minmax problem for the transmit power of the relays is considered when the mean square error(MSE)of SUs and the IT of PU meet their corresponding thresholds, and it is transformed into a semi-definite programming(SDP)problem to search for the solution. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed precoder.

Network coding with diversity and outdated channel state information

Physical-layer network coding （PNC） has the potential to significantly improve the throughput of wireless networks where the channels can be modeled as additive white Gaussian noise （AWGN） channel. As extending to mul- tiple channels, this technique requires both amplitude and phase compensation at each transmitter and will lead to inef- ficient systems yielding no diversity even with perfect channel state information （CSI）. In order to avoid these limita- tions, we apply network coding with diversity （NCD） to achieve a form of selection diversity and extend NCD to coop- erative multiple access channels in this paper. However, in practical wireless communication systems, the CSI could become outdated due to the difference between the CSI used in the relay selection and data transmission phases. Hence, the selected relay may not be the best one during data transmission phase due to the dynamic change in the wireless channels. Therefore, we first explore the relation between the present and past CSIs. Exploiting this relationship, the NCD scheme with outdated CSI is investigated based on the past CSI. To evaluate the performance of this scheme, an information-theoretic metric, namely the outage capacity, is studied under this condition.

Device-Free Through-the-Wall Activity Recognition Using Bi-Directional Long Short-Term Memory and WiFi Channel State Information

Activity recognition plays a key role in health management and security.Traditional approaches are based on vision or wearables,which only work under the line of sight(LOS)or require the targets to carry dedicated devices.As human bodies and their movements have influences on WiFi propagation,this paper proposes the recognition of human activities by analyzing the channel state information(CSI)from the WiFi physical layer.The method requires only the commodity:WiFi transmitters and receivers that can operate through a wall,under LOS and non-line of sight(NLOS),while the targets are not required to carry dedicated devices.After collecting CSI,the discrete wavelet transform is applied to reduce the noise,followed by outlier detection based on the local outlier factor to extract the activity segment.Activity recognition is fulfilled by using the bi-directional long short-term memory that takes the sequential features into consideration.Experiments in through-the-wall environments achieve recognition accuracy>95%for six common activities,such as standing up,squatting down,walking,running,jumping,and falling,outperforming existing work in this field.

信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI)反馈是大规模多输入多输出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,MIMO)系统的一个关键问题。大规模MIMO系统中基站天线数量巨大,CSI反馈出现了反馈开销大、反馈精度低等问题。为了降低反馈开销,提高反馈精度,采用深度学习方法,提出了一种基于特征融合的CSI反馈网络(Feature Fusion Net,FFNet)。利用基于注意力机制的特征融合在编码器中融合不同尺度的CSI特征,并在解码器中使用多通道多分辨率卷积网络以及通道重排,从而高精度地重建压缩后的CSI。仿真结果表明,与几种经典的深度学习CSI反馈方法相比,在室内和室外信道条件下,均具有更高的反馈精度。

A joint optimization scheme of resource allocation in downlink NOMA with statistical channel state information

In a real communication scenario,it is very difficult to obtain the real-time channel state infor-mation(CSI)accurately,so the non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)system with statistical CSI has been researched.Aiming at the problem that the maximization of system sum rate cannot be solved directly,a step-by-step resource allocation optimization scheme based on machine learning is proposed.First,in order to achieve a trade-off between the system sum rate and user fairness,the system throughput formula is derived.Then,according to the combinatorial characteristics of the system throughput maximization problem,the original optimization problem is divided into two sub-problems,that are power allocation and user grouping.Finally,genetic algorithm is introduced to solve the sub-problem of power allocation,and hungarian algorithm is introduced to solve the sub-problem of user grouping.By comparing the ergodic data rate of NOMA users with statistical CSI and perfect CSI,the effectiveness of the statistical CSI sorting is verified.Compared with the orthogonal multiple access(OMA)scheme,the NOMA scheme with the fixed user grouping scheme and the random user grouping scheme,the system throughput performance of the proposed scheme is signifi-cantly improved.

变化信道稀疏度的CSI反馈方法

Cross-layer design of combining AMC with HARQ in cooperative relay system with perfect and imperfect CSI

A cross-layer design which combines adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) at the physical layer with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocol at the data link layer (LL) is presented, in cooperative relay system over Nakagami-m fading channels with perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI). In order to maximize spectral efficiency (SE) under delay and packet error rate (PER) performance constraints, a state transition model and an optimization framework with perfect CSI are presented. Then the framework is extended to cooperative relay system with imperfect CSI. The numerical results show that the scheme can achieve maximum SE while satisfying transmitting delay requirements. Compared with the imperfect CSI, the average PER with perfect CSI is much lower and the spectral efficiency is much higher.

Multi-Sinusoidal Waveform Shaping for Integrated Data and Energy Transfer in Aging Channels

Integrated data and energy transfer(IDET)is capable of simultaneously delivering on-demand data and energy to low-power Internet of Everything(Io E)devices.We propose a multi-carrier IDET transceiver relying on superposition waveforms consisting of multi-sinusoidal signals for wireless energy transfer(WET)and orthogonal-frequency-divisionmultiplexing(OFDM)signals for wireless data transfer(WDT).The outdated channel state information(CSI)in aging channels is employed by the transmitter to shape IDET waveforms.With the constraints of transmission power and WDT requirement,the amplitudes and phases of the IDET waveform at the transmitter and the power splitter at the receiver are jointly optimised for maximising the average directcurrent(DC)among a limited number of transmission frames with the existence of carrier-frequencyoffset(CFO).For the amplitude optimisation,the original non-convex problem can be transformed into a reversed geometric programming problem,then it can be effectively solved with existing tools.As for the phase optimisation,the artificial bee colony(ABC)algorithm is invoked in order to deal with the nonconvexity.Iteration between the amplitude optimisation and phase optimisation yields our joint design.Numerical results demonstrate the advantage of our joint design for the IDET waveform shaping with the existence of the CFO and the outdated CSI.
