Abstract-The application of Mission Critical Machine Type Communication (MC-MTC) in wireless systems is currently a hot research topic. Wireless systems are considered to provide numerous advantages over wired systems in e.g. industrial applications such as closed loop control. However, due to the broadcast nature of the wireless channel, such systems are prone to a wide range of cyber attacks. These range from passive eavesdropping attacks to active attacks like data manipulation or masquerade attacks. Therefore it is necessary to provide reliable and efficient security mechanisms. Some of the most important security issues in such a system are to ensure integrity as well as authenticity of exchanged messages over the air between communicating devices. In the present work, an approach on how to achieve this goal in MC-MTC systems based on Physical Layer Security (PHYSEC) is presented. A new method that clusters channel estimates of different transmitters based on a Gaussian Mixture Model is applied for that purpose. Further, an experimental proof-ofconcept evaluation is given and we compare the performance of our approach with a mean square error based detection method.
As the next generation of wireless system targets at providing a wider range of services with divergent QoS requirements, new applications will be enabled by the fifth generation (5G) network. Among the emerging applications, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication is an important use case targeted by 5G to enable an improved traffic safety and traffic efficiency. Since the V2X communication requires a low end-to-end (E2E) latency and an ultra-high reliability, the legacy cellular networks can not meet the service requirement. In this work, we inspect on the system performance of applying the LTE-Uu and PC5 interfaces to enable the V2X communication.With the LTE-Uu interface, one V2X data packet is transmitted through the cellular network infrastructure, while the PC5 interface facilitates the direct V2X communication without involving the network infrastructure in user-plane. In addition, due to the high reliability requirement, the application of a single V2X transmission technology can not meet the targets in some scenarios. Therefore, we also propose a multi-radio access technologies (multi-RATs) scheme where the data packet travels through both the LTE-Uu and PC5 interfaces to obtain a diversity gain. Last but not least, in order to derive the system performance, a system level simulator is implemented in this work. The numerical results provide us insights on how the different technologies will perform in different scenarios and also validate the proposed multi-RATs scheme.
Abstract-Compared with today's 4G wireless communication network, the next generation of wireless system should be able to provide a wider range of services with different QoS requirements. One emerging new service is to exploit cooperative driving to actively avoid accidents and improve traffic efficiency. A key challenge for cooperative driving is on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication which requires a high reliability and a low end-to-end (E2E) latency. In order to meet these requirements, 5G should be evaluated by new key performance indicators (KPIs) rather than the conventional metric, as throughput in the legacy cellular networks. In this work, we exploit network controlled direct V2V communication for information exchange among vehicles. This communication process refers to packet transmission directly among vehicles without the involvement of network infrastructure in U-plane. In order to have a network architecture to enable direct V2V communication, the architecture of the 4G network is enhanced by deploying a new central entity with specific functionality for V2V communication. Moreover, a resource allocation scheme is also specifically designed to adapt to traffic model and service requirements of V2V communication. Last but not least, different technologies are considered and simulated in this work to improve the performance of direct V2V communication.
