Physical layer security (PLS) is a promising technology to enhance security performance of wireless communication systems, while the analyzing of PLS abnormal user detection is an important aspect of PLS research. Considering random matrix theory (RMT) is a time-efficient and theory-mature method, we will utilize RMT to analyze the abnormal user detection problem from the perspective of physical layer data analysis, where the carrier frequency offset (CFO) data is used as an indicator for abnormal user detection. Specially, the ring law theory and empirical spectral analysis of RMT are adopted for the analysis of CFO data, which is time-efficient and can be implanted in other detection methods. The proposed abnormal user detection method can provide a guidance for the appropriate choice of security enhancement technologies, so as to improve the utilization efficiency of different PLS technologies.INDEX TERMS Physical layer security, carrier frequency offset, abnormal user detection, random matrix theory, data analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
