Abstract
En 中文
Spatial Modulation (SM) is a promising low-complexity modulation scheme for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. In this paper, we address the problem of authenticating the transmitter device in the SM. We propose an authentication approach for an SM system by using Physical-Layer Authentication (PLA) mechanisms because the PLA has the following advantages: high security and low complexity. Based on the features of an SM system, we propose two PLA schemes: PLA with Superimposed Authentication Tag (PLA-SAT) and PLA with Superimposed Imaginary authentication Tag (PLA-SIT). We provide performance analyses of our schemes over fading channels in terms of robustness, compatibility, and security. Moreover, we derive their closed-form expressions under both perfect and imperfect channel estimates, including the Probability of Detection (PD), Probability of False Alarm (PFA), and Average Error Probability (AEP). Although the two proposed schemes have the same robustness and security, the PLA-SIT scheme has better compatibility than the PLA-SAT scheme. Our schemes were implemented and extensive performance comparisons through simulations were conducted. We observe that the simulation results of the two proposed schemes perfectly match their corresponding theoretical analyses. The authentication accuracy of the two proposed schemes is close to one when the received SNR is greater than 20 dB and the security performances of the two proposed schemes improve as the variance of estimation errors increases.
