Physical Layer Security Techniques for Future Wireless Networks
share
The broadcast nature of wireless communication systems makes wireless transmission extremely susceptible to eavesdropping and even malicious interference. Physical layer security technology can effectively protect the private information sent by the transmitter from being listened to by illegal eavesdroppers, thus ensuring the privacy and security of communication between the transmitter and legitimate users. The development of mobile communication presents new challenges to physical layer security research. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the physical layer security research on various promising mobile technologies, including directional modulation (DM), spatial modulation (SM), covert communication, intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided communication, and so on. Finally, future trends and the unresolved technical challenges are summarized in physical layer security for mobile communications.
