“…Although we focus on a single user setup, the proposed scheme can be generalized to having multiple users. Indeed, in a system with multiple users, the effective SINR of user k will be similar to the effective SINR in (6) with an additional inter-user interference term in the denominator. This additional term can be written as i =k q i E{|a H k h i | 2 |s j }, where q i , a i , and h i are the data transmit power, receiver filter, and channel gain of user i.…”

We design a jamming-resistant receiver scheme to enhance the robustness of a massive MIMO uplink system against jamming. We assume that a jammer attacks the system both in the pilot and data transmission phases. The key feature of the proposed scheme is that, in the pilot phase, we estimate not only the legitimate channel, but also the jamming channel by exploiting a purposely unused pilot sequence. The jamming channel estimate is used to constructed linear receive filters that reject the impact of the jamming signal. The performance of the proposed scheme is analytically evaluated using asymptotic properties of massive MIMO. The optimal regularized zero-forcing receiver and the optimal power allocation are also studied. Numerical results are provided to verify our analysis and show that the proposed scheme greatly improves the achievable rates, as compared to conventional receivers. Interestingly, the proposed scheme works particularly well under strong jamming attacks, since the improved estimate of the jamming channel outweighs the extra jamming power.

“…Safeguarding the current standard, for instance, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) or securely implementing the initiation, such as massive antenna technique, gradually come up on the agenda [1]. The common problem encountered is that the imperishable characteristic of wireless channels, such as the open and shared nature, has always been rendering those technologies vulnerable to the growing denial of service (DoS) attacks [2]. A phenomenon, if we notice, has emerged in the physical (PHY) layer that DoS attacks, with moderate size of the involved network segment and modest implementation complexity, have become increasingly common and potent [3].…”

In wireless OFDM communications systems, pilot tones, due to their publicly-known and deterministic characteristic, suffer significant jamming/nulling/spoofing risks. Thus, the convectional channel training protocol using pilot tones could be attacked and paralysed, which raises the issue of anti-attack channel training authentication (CTA), that is, verifying the claims of identities of pilot tones and channel estimation samples. In this paper, we consider one-ring scattering scenarios with largescale uniform linear arrays (ULA) and develop an independencechecking coding (ICC) theory to build a secure and stable CTA protocol, namely ICC based CTA (ICC-CTA) protocol. In this protocol, pilot tones are not merely randomized and inserted into subcarriers, but also encoded as diversified subcarrier activation patterns (SAPs) simultaneously. Those encoded SAPs, though camouflaged by malicious signals, can be identified and decoded into original pilots, and hence for high-accuracy channel impulse response (CIR) estimation. The CTA security is first characterised by the error probability of identifying legitimate CIR estimation samples. We prove that the identification error probability (IEP) is equal to zero under the continuously-distributed mean angle of arrival (AoA) and also derive a closed-form expression of IEP under the discretely-distributed case. The CTA instability is formulated as the function of probability of stably estimating CIR against all available diversified SAPs. A realistic tradeoff between the CTA security and instability under the discretelydistributed AoA is identified and an optimally-stable tradeoff problem is formulated, with the objective of optimizing the code rate to maximize security while maintaining maximum stability for ever. Solving this, we derive the closed-form expression of optimal code rate. Numerical results finally validate the resilience of proposed ICC-CTA protocol.

“…To enhance the strength of the signal of interest in a wireless communication scheme, jamming attacks should be effectively retaliated. In the works reported in [11] and [12] the investigating methodologies related to a MIMO interference cancellation based jamming resilient system, an energy harvesting jammer to minimize secrecy outage for powered communication networks and optimal stopping theory dependent jammer selection process for secured radio networks are documented respectively. The proposed aerial vehicular signal jamming system incorporates auto tuning band-pass filter module with consistent video surveillance and automatic map generation capabilities.…”

During sudden anti-terrorist drives conducted by the law enforcement agencies, a localized cyber security system happens to be a special tactic to avert the unprecedented massacre and gruesome fatalities against the residents of that area by disconnecting the affected territory from the rest of the world; so that the militants and their outside accomplices cannot communicate with each other and also the terrorists cannot go through the ongoing apprehensive operation via wireless communications. This paper presents a novel framework of an unmanned aerial vehicular networking signal jammer which is oriented to block incoming and outgoing signals of all frequencies transmitted from a specifically marginalized territory scanned and explored by the aerial vehicle. During such a cyber-vigilance operation, the aerial vehicle is equipped with a transmitter and an auto-tuning band-pass filter module with automatic regulation of center frequencies according to the surrounding networking signals, which are considered to be the suppressing noise parameters. In order to restrict the signal blocking operation within the militant hub, the aerial vehicle with the network terminator is controlled to navigate within a particular boundary of a residential area and its navigation is continuously mapped and stored for effective evacuation process directed to save the innocent stranded people. A very low frequency (VLF) metal detector has been designed to trace the explosives and buried landmines inside the exploration arena. An algorithm for 3-D mapping of the metal traces detected by the aerial navigator has been presented in this paper. Signal blocking, metal tracing and stable confined movements have been tested where the testbed is provided with signals of different frequencies along with variation in dimensions of the testing region to evaluate the reliability of the proposed framework.
