We propose an artificial noise (AN) injection strategy for securing communication over finite-input intersymbol interference (ISI) channels. The technique relies on injection of colored noise whose power spectral density has the least match with the spectrum of the main channel in a certain sense. By evaluation of an achievable secrecy rate, we demonstrate that the proposed AN injection based solution results in a considerable improvement over the existing approaches, especially when the eavesdropper works at high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).Index Terms-Physical layer security, finite-state wiretap channel, artificial noise, inter-symbol interference.
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.
