    Relay-Aided Secure Broadcasting for Visible Light Communications
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2019) Arafa, Ahmed; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
    A visible light communication broadcast channel is considered, in which a transmitter luminaire communicates with two legitimate receivers in the presence of an external eavesdropper. A number of trusted cooperative half-duplex relay luminaires are deployed to aid with securing the transmitted data. Transmitters are equipped with single light fixtures, containing multiple light emitting diodes, and receiving nodes are equipped with single photo-detectors, rendering the considered setting as a single-input single-output system. Transmission is amplitude-constrained to maintain operation within the light emitting diodes' dynamic range. Achievable secrecy rate regions are derived under such amplitude constraints for this multi-receiver wiretap channel, first for direct transmission without the relays, and then for multiple relaying schemes: cooperative jamming, decode-and-forward, and amplify-and-forward. Superposition coding with uniform signaling is used at the transmitter and the relays. Further, for each relaying scheme, secure beamforming vectors are carefully designed at the relay nodes in order to hurt the eavesdropper and/or benefit the legitimate receivers. Superiority of the proposed relaying schemes, with secure beamforming, is shown over direct transmission. It is also shown that the best relaying scheme depends on how far the eavesdropper is located from the transmitter and the relays, the number of relays, and their geometric layout.

    Relay-Aided Secure Broadcasting for VLC
    (IEEE, 2018) Arafa, Ahmed; Panayırcı, Erdal; Poor, H. Vincent
    A visible light communication (VLC) broadcast channel is considered in which a transmitter communicates with two receivers in the presence of an external eavesdropper. Trusted cooperative half-duplex relays are deployed to aid with securing the transmitted data. Transmission is amplitude-constrained to maintain operation within the light emitting diodes (LEDs) dynamic range. Achievable secrecy rate regions are derived under such amplitude constraints for this multi receiver wiretap channel first for direct transmission without the relays and then for cooperative jamming decode-and-forward and amplify-and-forward relaying schemes. Superposition coding with uniform signaling is used for transmission along with secure beamforming at the relays. Superiority of the secure relaying schemes over direct transmission is shown with performance depending on how far the eavesdropper is from the transmitter and the relays.
