Specifically, short-packet communication is expected to meet the delay requirement of URLLC, while the degradation of reliability caused by it makes traditional physical-layer security metrics not applicable. In this paper, we investigate the secure short-packet transmission in uplink massive multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MU-MIMO) system under imperfect channel state information (CSI). We propose an artificial noise scheme to improve the security performance of the system and use the system average secrecy throughput (AST) as the analysis metric. We derive the approximate closed-form expression of the system AST and further analyze the system asymptotic performance in two regimes. Furthermore, a one-dimensional search method is used to optimize the maximum system AST for a given pilot length. Numerical results verify the correctness of theoretical analysis, and show that there are some parameters that affect the tradeoff between security and latency. Moreover, appropriately increasing the number of antennas at the base station (BS) and transmission power at user devices (UDs) can increase the system AST to achieve the required threshold.","PeriodicalId":9814,"journal":{"name":"China Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"196-211"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68734342","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}

The complex multivariable coupling problem is decomposed into three sub-problems, and the non-convexity of the objective function and the constraints is solved with semi-definite relaxation.

In this paper, we investigate the spectrum anti-jamming (AJ) problem for data transmissions between devices. Considering fast-changing physical-layer jamming attacks in the time/frequency domain, frequency resources have to be configured for devices in advance with unknown jamming patterns (i.e. the time-frequency distribution of the jamming signals) to avoid jamming signals emitted by malicious devices. This process can be formulated as a Markov decision process and solved by reinforcement learning (RL). Unfortunately, state-of-the-art RL methods may put pressure on the system which has limited computing resources. As a result, we propose a novel RL, by integrating the asynchronous advantage actor-critic (A3C) approach with the kernel method to learn a flexible frequency pre-configuration policy. Moreover, in the presence of time-varying jamming patterns, the traditional AJ strategy can not adapt to the dynamic interference strategy. To handle this issue, we design a kernel-based feature transfer learning method to adjust the structure of the policy function online. Simulation results reveal that our proposed approach can significantly outperform various baselines, in terms of the average normalized throughput and the convergence speed of policy learning.","PeriodicalId":9814,"journal":{"name":"China Communications","volume":"79 ","pages":"52-65"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139017200","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}

To be specific, the linear arrays are controlled to move along an arbitrary direction at a constant velocity and snap per fixed time delay. All the received signals are processed to synthesize the comprehensive observation vector for an extended 2D virtual aperture. Subsequently, since most of 2D DOA estimation methods are not universal to our proposed motion scheme and the reduced-dimensional (RD) method fails to handle the case of the coupled parameters, a decoupled reduced-complexity multiple signals classification (DRC MUSIC) algorithm is designed specifically.
