Physical-Layer Security Improvement with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for 6G Wireless Communication Systems

Abstract: Recently, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have received much interest from both academia and industry due to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness in adjusting the phase and amplitude of wireless signals with low-cost passive reflecting elements. In particular, many RIS-aided techniques have been proposed to improve both data rate and energy efficiency for 6G wireless communication systems. In this paper, we propose a novel RIS-based channel randomization (RCR) technique for improving physical-la… Show more

“…Simultaneously, academia and industry have shown tremendous interest to unlock the superior advantages of RIS, and enhance the several performance metrics of the networks, such as sum-secrecy rates, energy efficiency, and spectral efficiency. Different application scenarios of RIS have been introduced, including device-to-device (D2D) communication [21], mmWave communication [22], coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission [23], simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) [24], and PLS [25]- [27]. In specific to PLS, [25] adjusted the phase shifts and transmit powers to enhance the PLS performance in RIS-assisted twoway communications.…”

“…The authors in [26] presented the secrecy maximization problem in RIS-assisted multiuser twoway communications by utilizing the signals of the users for degrading the eavesdropping capability. Moreover in [27], the proposed RIS-based channel randomization technique improved the secrecy performance for a downlink cellular wire-tap network. The application of PLS was also extended to the D2D communications underlaying cellular networks where the system interference was utilized to enhance the secrecy performance [28], [29].…”
