“…As the two-way information flow is concerned in this paper, the smart grid can be treated as an advanced IP-based communications network where a plethora of broadband applications can be supported that can facilitate either power utilities (e.g., real-time monitor, meter and control of the power grid equipment and wired infrastructure) or customers (e.g., real-time monitor and control of their power flows). To implement the two-way information flow across the smart grid, BPL technology attracts great attention from the stakeholders among the available communications technology proposals since it exploits the already installed wired power grid infrastructure [4]- [6]. However, transmission and distribution power grids have intentionally been designed to deliver power and for that reason power grids are a hostile medium for communications signals, such as BPL ones, through their infrastructure and equipment [7]- [11].…”

“…However, the use of the Fourier transform allows to model the PLC noise as a colored Gaussian random process in the frequency domain. Based on [41], [42], the frequency domain representation of the PLC noise is Gaussian distributed since the Fourier transform carries out a sum of various phase-shifted random variables (i.e., Gaussian distribution due to the Central Limit Theorem). Consequently, the PLC noise can be modeled as an additive colored Gaussian noise (ACGN) in the frequency domain.…”

This paper investigates the physical layer security of in-home and broadband power line communications (PLC) systems threatened by colluding wireless communication (WLC) eavesdroppers, which are localized near or far from the transmitter and operate in the same frequency band. In this regard, we show that PLC and hybrid PLC-WLC channels can be considered as uncorrelated random processes. In the sequel, we confirm the severity of a WLC eavesdropper or a group of them located near the transmitter. Also, we show that a group of colluding WLC eavesdroppers located far from the transmitter poses the same security risk of only one WLC eavesdropper located near the transmitter. Finally, a discussion of wiretap code rates for achieving effective secrecy throughput is presented.INDEX TERMS Eavesdropping, physical layer security, power line communication, wireless communication.

“…Based on the colored Gaussian noise model, Ref. [21] analyzed the PLS of the power grid network with impulsive noise and with temporal artificial noise injection when the CSI of an eavesdropper is known to the legitimate user and when it is unknown. Further, an artificial noise-aided PLS solution for multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) power grid networks with a colored Gaussian noise model was proposed in [22] using in-band full-duplex technology.…”

As one of the main candidates for future civil aviation communications systems, the L-band digital aeronautical communication system (L-DACS) is expected to achieve secure and reliable transmission. Due to the broadcasting nature of air–ground wireless links, the L-DACS has the risk of being intercepted by malicious eavesdroppers, which negatively affects aviation communication security. In addition, because the spectrum of the L-DACS overlaps with the aviation distance measuring equipment (DME), the pulse interference caused by the DME signal may lead to the wireless link being more fragile and susceptible to wiretapping. In this paper, with a focus on enhancing wireless transmission security, we propose a comprehensive physical layer security (PLS) method for the L-DACS. The key to the proposed PLS method is restraining the transmission of the eavesdropper by injecting artificial noise into the transmitted signal while improving the transmission of the legitimate receiver through the adoption of pulse interference mitigation. First, to characterize the L-DACS in the secure scene, we derive the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the legitimate receiver and any potential eavesdropper by constructing equivalent noise. Next, from the perspective of the information theory, we derive the closed form of the secrecy capacity of the L-DACS by employing the proposed PLS methods with three kinds of nonlinear interference mitigation: including ideal pulse blanking, peak threshold-based pulse blanking, and peak threshold-based pulse clipping. Finally, we compare and analyze different ways to enhance the secrecy capacity of the proposed PLS method using various interference mitigation methods.
