In this letter, we investigate joint spectrum allocation and power control for a multi-UAV radar sensing network, where multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) simultaneously perform radar sensing separately to detect targets and avoid collision. By modeling the multi-UAV network as a graph, we employ graph neural network (GNN) to capture environmental features, construct the DT network, and address resource allocation issues. In particular, we propose a message-passing neural network based spectrum allocation method and a graph attention network based power control method to maximizing the minimum radar echo signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) among all UAVs. Simulation results show that the proposed DT-enhanced GNN based resource allocation method can significantly improve the minimum SINR and extend the sensing coverage.","PeriodicalId":13343,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Wireless Communications Letters","volume":"13 11","pages":"3137-3141"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142160484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new technology, intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS), has been recently introduced, offering a way to control and steer light propagation in VLC systems. This letter proposes an innovative approach for enhancing the physical layer security (PLS) in IRS-assisted VLC by utilising the effect of the time delay induced by the IRS reflections. More specifically, we consider how to allocate the IRS elements in a way that produces destructive intersymbol interference at the eavesdropper’s location while enhancing the signal reception at the legitimate user. Our results show that, at a fixed light-emitting diode power of 3W, the secrecy capacity can be enhanced by up to 253% at random positions for the legitimate user when the eavesdropper is located within a 1-meter radius of the LED. We show that careful IRS allocation can lead to enhanced PLS even when the eavesdropper has a more favorable position than the legitimate user.","PeriodicalId":13343,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Wireless Communications Letters","volume":"13 11","pages":"3147-3151"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142160485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the main challenges in this domain is to increase the length of the generated secret key while maintaining its randomness and uniformity. In this letter, new dimensions for wireless channel-based key generation are proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The novel perspective of the proposed work lies in the generation of key bits not only from the magnitudes of OFDM subchannels as it has conventionally been done but also from the number and positions/indices of those subchannels, whose channel gains are above the mean of the respective subblock. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is evaluated in terms of key generation rate and key mismatch rate. It is shown in the simulation results that the involvement of the proposed dimensions can double the key generation rate compared to conventional algorithms.","PeriodicalId":13343,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Wireless Communications Letters","volume":"13 11","pages":"3133-3136"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142144371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this letter, considering both CSI imperfection and target location uncertainty, a novel framework of joint robust optimization is proposed by maximizing the weighted sum of worst-case data rate and beampattern gain. To address this challenging problem, we propose an efficient two-layer iteration algorithm based on S-Procedure and convex hull.

To secure the privacy of served users from malicious targets, artificial noise (AN) carrying no information is often transmitted in conventional security schemes. In this letter, we propose to employ multicast signals to convey group-oriented information to cooperative targets, disrupt malicious targets, and simultaneously sense all targets. Meanwhile, unicast signals are transmitted for privacy information of the served users. We formulate a robust secure beamforming problem that deals with imperfect channel state information (CSI) and the uncertainty regarding the angles of malicious targets. To solve this problem, we propose a penalty-based iterative algorithm by transforming the non-convex optimization problem into a convex one with semidefinite relaxation (SDR) and examining the relationship between the trace, the largest eigenvalue and the rank of a positive semidefinite matrix.

Subsequently, the first-order optimality condition that the optimal precoding vector needs to satisfy is identified. Additionally, a low-complexity and efficient algorithm based on the generalized power iteration precoding algorithm to find the optimal precoding vector satisfying the first-order optimality condition is designed.
