We consider the physical layer security (PLS) of multi-user (MU) multiple-input-multiple-output visible light communication (VLC) systems with an eavesdropper (Eve) and propose a novel spatial constellation design technique based on generalized space shift keying (MU-GSSK-SCD). The received signals of the legitimate users are optimized jointly, such that their bit error ratios (BERs) are minimized and Eve's BER is significantly degraded. The emission power of randomly selected light-emitting diodes is adjusted, by exploiting users' channel state information at the transmitter. Our strategy ensures that legitimate users receive confidential messages fully in an undistorted fashion, while any meaningful leakage to Eve is strongly prohibited, without any artificial noise addition. Every user can decode only its information, hence inter-user security is also guaranteed. The PLS improvements are presented in terms of both BERs and achievable secrecy rates in practical VLC scenarios. For various user configurations, it is shown that MU-GSSK-SCD increases the BER at Eve to the 0.5 level, while providing minimized BERs to the legitimate users. The achievable secrecy rate region is derived for MU-GSSK-SCD and it is shown that full secrecy can be achieved at 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) level with a user separation as small as 90 cm.

Spatial Constellation Design Based Generalized Space Shift Keying for Physical Layer Security of Multi-User MIMO Communication Systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Su, Nugman; Panayırcı, Erdal; Koca, Mutlu; Poor, H. Vincent
We propose a novel spatial constellation design (SCD) method with generalized space shift keying (GSSK-SCD) signaling for physical layer security (PLS) in multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. In GSSK-SCD, the received spatial constellations are optimized through a novel precoding scheme, which minimizes the BERs at legitimate users and significantly worsens eavesdroppers’ BER. In addition to extensive BER simulations, we also provide analytical expressions for the secrecy rate regions for the proposed GSSK-SCD. Both analytical derivations and simulation results, including comparisons with artificial noise aided conventional GSSK, reveal that the GSSK-SCD approach provides significant PLS improvements for MU-MIMO systems.
