Optical Jamming Enhances the Secrecy Performance of the Generalized Space-Shift-Keying-Aided Visible-Light Downlink

Fasong Wang, Chaowen Liu, Qi Wang +4 more

In order to enhance the secrecy performance of the generalized space shift keying (GSSK) visible light communication (VLC) system, in this paper, an optical jamming-aided secrecy enhancement scheme is proposed, in which the source transmitter (S) simultaneously sends both the confidential desired signal and optical jamming signals under the amplitude and power constraints. The optical jamming signals obey the truncated Gaussian distribution for satisfying the constraints. Given the discrete set of channel inputs, the optical jamming-aided GSSK-VLC system's secrecy performance is analyzed. Explicitly, the average mutual information (AMI), the lower bound of AMI and its closed-form approximation as well as the achievable secrecy rate are formulated analytically. Furthermore, the optimal power sharing strategy of the proposed GSSK-VLC systems relying on optical jamming is derived. Closed-form expressions are provided for the optimal power sharing in both the low- and high-SNR regions. Finally, the extensive simulation results are presented to validate our analytical results.

Secrecy Rate Bounds in Spatial Modulation-Based Visible Light Communications under Signal-Dependent Noise Conditions

Yahya Mohammed Al-Moliki, Ali H. Alqahtani, Mohammed T. Alresheedi +1 more

This study examines the physical-layer security of an indoor visible light communication (VLC) system using spatial modulation (SM), which consists of several transmitters, an authorized receiver, and a passive adversary. The SM technique is applied at the transmitters so that only one transmitter is operational at any given time. A uniform selection (US) strategy is employed to choose the active transmitter. The two scenarios under examination encompass the conditions of non-negativity and average optical intensity, as well as the conditions of non-negativity, average optical intensity, and peak optical intensity. The secrecy rate is then obtained for these two scenarios while accounting for both signal-independent noise and signal-dependent noise. Additionally, the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) asymptotic behavior of the derived secrecy rate constraints is investigated. A channel-adaptive selection (CAS) strategy and a greedy selection (GS) scheme are utilized to select the active transmitter, aiming to enhance the secrecy performance. The current numerical findings affirm a pronounced convergence between the lower and upper bounds characterizing the secrecy rate. Notably, marginal asymptotic differentials in performance emerge at elevated SNRs. Furthermore, the GS system outperforms the CAS scheme and the US method, in that order. Additionally, the impact of friendly optical jamming on the secrecy rate is investigated. The results show that optical jamming significantly enhances the secrecy rate, particularly at higher power levels.

Secrecy Rate Analysis for Visible Light Communications Using Spatial Modulation

Hong Ge, Jianxin Dai, Bo Huang +1 more

This paper mainly investigates the physical layer security for visible light communication (VLC) based on spatial modulation (SM). The indoor VLC system includes multiple transmitters, a legitimate receiver and an eavesdropper. In the system, we consider two constraints of the input signal: non-negative and dimmable average optical intensity constraints. According to the principle of information theory and the spatial modulation scheme of uniform selection (US), the upper and the lower bounds on the secrecy rate for SM based VLC are derived, respectively. Numerical results show that the performance gap between the upper and lower bounds of the secrecy rate is small and relatively close, which indicates that the derived secrecy rate bounds can be used to evaluate the system performance. Moreover, when the number of transmitters is set to be one, the spatial modulation disappears, and the secrecy rate bounds in this paper are consistent with the existing results. To further improve the secrecy performance, a channel adaptive selection (CAS) scheme is proposed for selecting the active transmitter. Numerical result indicates that the CAS scheme has better performance than the US scheme.
