Abstract

Physical layer security (PLS) is a potential solution for secure and reliable transmissions in future Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (URLLC). This work jointly optimizes redundant bits and blocklength allocation in practical round-trip transmission scenarios. To minimize the leakage-failure probability, a metric that jointly characterizes security and reliability in PLS, we formulate an optimization problem for allocating both redundant bits and blocklength. By deriving the boundaries of the feasible set, we obtain the globally optimal solution for this integer optimization problem. To achieve more computationally efficient solutions, we propose a block coordinate descent (BCD) method that exploits the partial convexity of the objective function. Subsequently, we develop a majorization-minimization (MM) algorithm through convex approximation of the objective function, which further improves computational efficiency. Finally, we validate the performance of the three proposed approaches through simulations, demonstrating their practical applicability for future URLLC services.

Physical Layer Security in Lossy Untrusted Relay Networks with Finite Blocklength

Shen Qian, Meng Cheng

In this paper, we examine the physical layer security (PLS) in lossy untrusted relay networks, focusing on finite blocklength transmissions. In such networks, ensuring secure communication is particularly challenging due to the presence of untrusted relay nodes and the inherent limitations of short-packet transmissions. We propose the reliable-and-secure probability (RSP) as a performance metric to evaluate the likelihood that the destination node successfully recovers the transmitted message while untrusted relays experience an outage. Two basic network topologies are taken into consideration, which are the three-node one way network and the single-source multi-untrusted-relay network without direct source-to-destination link. By optimizing power allocation and relay positioning, the RSP can be significantly improved, even when decoding errors occur at the relays. The study demonstrates that lossy decode-and-forward relaying complicates secure communication but also presents opportunities for performance enhancement through careful resource management. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed optimization strategies in enhancing security, especially for applications in ultra-reliable low-latency communication and massive machine-type communication in 5G/6G networks. Future research will focus on deriving more precise closed-form expressions for RSP in finite blocklength settings and investigating machine learning-based approaches for real-time optimization of secure communications in dynamic wireless environments. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on PLS in modern wireless systems, offering insights for future advancements.

Optimal Joint Beamforming and Jamming Design for Secure and Covert URLLC

Chao Wang, Zan Li, Derrick Wing Kwan Ng

This paper considers the physical layer security (PLS) and covertness of the signal transmission in a multiple-input single-output downlink adopting ultra-high reliability and low latency communication (URLLC). In the considered system, Alice transmits confidential signals to Bob in the presence of a multi-antenna eavesdropper (Eve) and a multi-antenna watchful adversary (Willie). Although artificial noise (AN) is a common PLS technique for protecting the confidential signal from wiretapping, it may reduce the communication covertness due to the additional signal emission. For maximizing the achievable secrecy rate, we propose an AN-aided secure and covert communication strategy through optimizing the information carrying beamformer and AN jointly subject to the covertness constraint. To tackle the formulated non-convex design problem, we propose a branch-reduce-and-bound (BRB)-based algorithm to solve the considered problem globally. Simulation results validate its efficiency compared with a benchmark algorithm and unveil the importance of exploiting AN.

Enhancing Physical Layer Security of URLLC Using Artificial Noise in Full-Duplex Cooperative NOMA

Annapurna Pradhan, Susmita Das, Md. Jalil Piran +1 more

In this paper, we propose enhancing physical layer security (PLS) of ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) in a full-duplex cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (FD-CNOMA) based Internet of Things (IoT) network. We analyze the PLS performance of a two-user FD-CNOMA system, where a source node transmits the short packet URLLC information to a near user and a far cell-edge user in the presence of an external eavesdropper. To ensure the security and reliability of URLLC signal transmission, the near user is utilized as a cooperative relay for transmitting the information intended for the far user, and also transmits an artificial noise (AN) signal to mitigate the impact of eavesdropping. An approximate closed-form expression of the average secure block error rate (SBLER) and the average secrecy throughput (AST) of the legitimate users under eavesdropping is derived. The analytical framework presented in this work considers the URLLC signal transmission with and without AN signal while evaluating the impact of residual self-interference (RSI) at the relay node on the PLS performance of the FD-CNOMA system. Thus, to improve the PLS performance and maximize the system AST, we optimize the URLLC blocklength and power allocation coefficient (PAC) at the source. The numerical and simulation results validate the proposed analytical framework and demonstrate a significant improvement of average SBLER and overall system AST (SAST) using AN-assisted URLLC signal transmission in the FD-CNOMA system.
