Enhancing Secrecy Capacity in PLS Communication with NORAN based on Pilot Information Codebooks

In recent research, non-orthogonal artificial noise (NORAN) has been proposed as an alternative to orthogonal artificial noise (AN). However, NORAN introduces additional noise into the channel, which reduces the capacity of the legitimate channel (LC). At the same time, selecting a NORAN design with ideal security performance from a large number of design options is also a challenging problem. To address these two issues, a novel NORAN based on a pilot information codebook is proposed in this letter. The codebook associates different suboptimal NORANs with pilot information as the key under different channel state information (CSI). The receiver interrogates the codebook using the pilot information to obtain the NORAN that the transmitter will transmit in the next moment, in order to eliminate the NORAN when receiving information. Therefore, NORAN based on pilot information codebooks can improve the secrecy capacity (SC) of the communication system by directly using suboptimal NORAN design schemes without increasing the noise in the LC. Numerical simulations and analyses show that the introduction of NORAN with a novel design using pilot information codebooks significantly enhances the security and improves the SC of the communication system.

Phase Difference based Doppler Disambiguation Method for TDM-MIMOFMCW Radars

State-of-the-art automotive radar sensors use a Mutliple-Input Mutiple-Output (MIMO) approach to obtain a better angular resolution. Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) scheme is commonly applied to realize the orthogonality in time at the transmitter. Apart from its simplicity in implementation, TDM scheme has the drawback of a reduced maximum unambiguous Doppler proportional to the number of transmitters. In this paper, a phase difference based Doppler disambiguation method is proposed to regain the maximum unambiguous Doppler which is equivalent to only one transmitter. This method works well when the number of transmitters is large. The proposed method is demonstrated with simulation and measurement data.
