Three lower bounds on secrecy capacity for indoor visible light communications

Cheng Liu, Jin‐Yuan Wang, Jun-Bo Wang +2 more

Recently, the physical-layer security, which exploits the channel characteristics in order to hide information from unauthorized receivers and does not reliance on the upper-layer encryption, has been proposed as a promising complement to the traditional security schemes. In this paper, the lower bounds on secrecy capacity for indoor visible light communications (VLC) are investigated. The noise is assumed to be Gaussian, which is independent of the input signal. The non-negativity and the average optical intensity constraint are taken into consideration. Based on the system model, three lower bounds on secrecy capacity for VLC are derived, respectively. Numerical results show that method 2 is better than the other two methods at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, while method 3 is the best method at low SNR regime.

Physical-Layer Security for Indoor Visible Light Communications: Secrecy Capacity Analysis

Jin‐Yuan Wang, Cheng Liu, Jun-Bo Wang +3 more

This paper investigates the physical-layer security for an indoor visible light communication network consisting of a transmitter, a legitimate receiver, and an eavesdropper. Both the main channel and the wiretapping channel have non-negative inputs, which are corrupted by additive white Gaussian noises. Considering the illumination requirement and the physical characteristics of lighting source, the input is also constrained in both its average and peak optical intensities. Two scenarios are investigated: one is only with an average optical intensity constraint and the other is with both average and peak optical intensity constraints. Based on the information theory, closed-form expressions of the upper and lower bounds on secrecy capacity for the two scenarios are derived. Numerical results show that the upper and lower bounds on secrecy capacity are tight, which validates the derived closed-form expressions. Moreover, the asymptotic behaviors in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime are analyzed from the theoretical aspects. At high SNR, when only considering the average optical intensity constraint, a small performance gap exists between the asymptotic upper and lower bounds on secrecy capacity. When considering both average and peak optical intensity constraints, the asymptotic upper and lower bounds on secrecy capacity coincide with each other. These conclusions are also confirmed by numerical results.

Secrecy-Capacity Bounds for Visible Light Communications With Signal-Dependent Noise

Jin‐Yuan Wang, Pengfei Yu, Xian-Tao Fu +4 more

In physical-layer security, secrecy capacity is an important performance metric. This work aims to determine the secrecy capacity for an indoor visible light communication system consisting of a transmitter, a legitimate receiver and an eavesdropping receiver. In such a system, both signal-independent noise and signal-dependent noise are considered. Under nonnegativity and average optical intensity constraints, lower and upper bounds on secrecy capacity are derived by the variational method, the dual expression of the secrecy capacity, and the concept of “the optimal input distribution that escapes to infinity”. By an asymptotic analysis at large optical intensity, there is a small gap between the asymptotic upper and lower bounds. Then, by adding a peak optical intensity constraint, we further analyze the exact and asymptotic secrecy-capacity bounds. For practical considerations, the effects of imperfect channel state information, multi-photodiode eavesdropper, and artificial noise on secrecy performance are also discussed. Finally, the derived secrecy-capacity bounds are verified by numerical results.
