Channel-Aware Secure Communication via Hybrid Wiretap Encoding and Secret Key Generation
2018
Physical layer security is a promising technology for secure communication by using wiretap encoding or physical-layer secret key generation. Most of the existing research works study these two techniques separately, which however cannot fully utilize the radio resource. In this paper, we combine the two techniques by using a channel-aware threshold-based approach. Specifically, when the estimated channel gain is larger than the threshold, the wiretap encoding is adopted; otherwise, the secret key generation is performed. For given constraints on security and reliability, we respectively derive the effective secrecy rate of the two techniques and then obtain the secrecy throughput of the proposed scheme through simulations. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can effectively combine the two techniques and enhance the average secrecy throughput.
