Symbol-independent weight magnitude design for antenna array based directional modulation

Abstract

Directional modulation (DM) as a physical layer security technique has been studied from many different aspects. Recently, a constant magnitude constraint for all antennas of an array for a given modulation symbol was proposed. However, the proposed design does not work for multiple beams. In practice, multi-beam DM may often be required. As a compromise, instead of setting the same magnitude for all antennas for a given symbol, in this paper, a symbol independent magnitude constraint for each antenna is proposed for the first time. With the same magnitude for different symbols for each antenna, only phase changes between different symbols are needed, which can form multiple DM beams simultaneously, while still reducing the implementation complexity of the whole system. Design examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed design.

Constant Reflection Attenuation Constraint for Incoming Signals on Metasurface in Positional Modulation Design

“…However, due to the equality constraint (9), formulation (10) is non-convex, resulting in an un-solvable problem by existing optimisation tools. Therefore, in the work, we borrow the MinMax method to keep the same magnitude value for all symbols [29]. Then, constraint ( 9) can be replaced by…”

Energy-Saving D2D Wireless Networking Based on ACO and AIA Fusion Algorithm

“…Focusing on the issues above, we consider that the networking of wireless IoTs may have to fully utilize the current hardware and pursuing energy-efficient scenarios from the algorithm aspect [10]. Following this idea, the algorithmic solutions improving the dataflow without additional energy consumption are commonly related to an indirect device-to-device (D2D) communication architecture, by which the information nodes (e.g., mobile devices) also undertake the message relay missions to reduce the data pressure of the central base station via proper routing solutions [11][12][13]. ereby, figuring out an appropriate routing solution via programmed calculations and algorithms is significantly important to the D2D networking [14].…”
