Towards Wireless Physical Layer Security Leveraging Massive and Distributed MIMO Radios

Abstract

Wireless channel exhibits the spatial uncorrelation property, which fertilizes an emerging research area that utilizes wireless channel characteristics to authenticate a wireless transmitter. This project aims to create a software defined radio infrastructure to evaluate the feasibility and security of utilizing spatial uncorrelation property to advocate wireless security. The proposed infrastructure will be equipped with distributed Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) radios to collect real-time wireless channel characteristics simultaneously from multiple pairs of wireless nodes, and to enable the design and validation of new wireless security schemes that are built upon wireless channel features for complex multi-node communication scenarios.
