Conference Object User Selection for Secure Massive Mimo Based Mobile Edge Computing With Delay-Sensitive Applications(IEEE, 2025) Yilmaz, Saadet Simay; Ozbek, BernaMobile edge computing (MEC) has been a promising technology that leverages cloud computing capabilities at the network edge to address compute-intensive and delay-sensitive applications of mobile users with limited resources. Employing massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) and nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in the MEC system facilitates simultaneous task offloading for multiple users, resulting in increased spectral efficiency and decreased offloading delay. Despite the great potential of the mMIMO-NOMA-based MEC system, offloading computation tasks to MEC servers can introduce inherent security concerns and vulnerabilities. We address a notable gap in the existing literature by investigating the effect of user selection to minimize the delay in MEC while enhancing the security of this framework. Specifically, this paper presents a user selection strategy for an uplink mMIMO-NOMA-based secure MEC system in the presence of a malicious eavesdropper (Eve) to minimize offloading and computing delays, subject to the transmit power, computing resource, and secrecy rate constraints with remote computing. We propose a two-step secure user selection algorithm and solve the optimization problem with the active-set algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed user selection strategy on secure MEC with a malicious Eve by minimizing the task execution delay compared to the benchmark schemes.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Assisted Pnc System With Multiple Antennas(IEEE, 2023) Ilguy, Mert; Ozbek, Berna; Musavian, Leila; Mumtaz, RaoReconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) is one of the promising key technologies for next generation wireless communication systems since it smartly controls wireless propagation environments. Besides, the combination of wireless physical network coding (PNC) and multiple antennas improves the overall system performance. In this paper, we propose an efficient RIS-assisted PNC with multiple antennas to reduce delay and error probability while establishing reliable transmission between the users which are far from each other and communicating via a base station with the help of the RISs. The extensive performance results are provided for the proposed scheme for the RIS-assisted PNC with multiple antennas.Conference Object Detection Scheme for Pnc-Based Cell-Free Mimo Systems(IEEE, 2023) Cumali, Irem; Ozbek, Berna; Kurt, Gunes KarabulutCell-free multiple-input multiple-output (cell-free MIMO) is a promising concept to overcome inter-cell interference and avoid non-uniform data rates among users by combining the best features of ultra-dense networks and MIMO. Hence, cell-free MIMO can fulfill the increasing demand on data rate with uniformly good coverage for the sixth-generation (6G) wireless communications. In addition to that, physical-layer network coding (PNC) reduces the transmission delay since it requires only two time slots instead of four time slots to exchange information between two users. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme called PNC-based cell-free MIMO to improve reliability further while reducing the transmission delay. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme regarding the bit error rate in different system configurations. The proposed PNC-based cell-free MIMO achieves significantly lower error probability than the conventional cell-free MIMO.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Interference Mitigation for Device-To Based Cellular Communications(IEEE, 2022) Acar, Süleyman Onur; Özbek, BernaDevice-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks can improve the performance of cellular systems and it provides an effective way to meet growing mobile traffic and capacity demand. When user equipments are located in close proximity, they can communicate through direct links. In this case, D2D links can increase both energy and spectrum efficiency by reusing uplink (UL) cellular resources while satisfying the users' quality-of-service requirements. However, integrating D2D links into the cellular infrastructure causes an interference since D2D communication can increase co-channel interference and degrade cellular users' transmission link quality. In this paper, the interference mitigation techniques including power control, multiple antenna and resource allocation based on graph coloring are proposed for D2D communications underlaying cellular systems to increase the data rate of both the cellular users and D2D pairs. Compared to the prior works, in the proposed algorithm, D2D and cellular users have same priority for resource allocation. Finally, the proposed algorithm improves the overall system capacity significantly.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Deep Learning Based Adaptive Bit Allocation for Heterogeneous Interference Channels(Elsevier, 2021) Aycan, Esra; Özbek, Berna; Le Ruyet, DidierThis paper proposes an adaptive bit allocation scheme by using a fully connected (FC) deep neural network (DNN) considering imperfect channel state information (CSI) for heterogeneous networks. Achieving an accurate CSI has a crucial role on the system performance of the heterogeneous networks. Different quantization techniques have been employed to reduce the feedback overhead. However, the system performance cannot increase linearly with the number of bits increasing exponentially. Since optimizing the total number of bits is too complex for the entire network, an initial step is performed to distribute the bits to each cell in the conventional method. Then, the distributed bits are further allocated to each channel optimally. In order to enable direct allocation for the entire network, a FC-DNN based method is presented in this study. The optimized number of bits can be directly obtained for a different number of bits and scenarios by the proposed approach. The simulations are performed by using various scenarios with different allocation schemes. The performance results show that the DNN based method achieves a closer performance to the conventional approach. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V.

In the design of most of the traditional networks, this broadcast nature is perceived as a performance-degrading factor. However, Physical Layer Network Coding (PNC) exploits this broadcast nature by enabling simultaneous transmissions from different sources and thereby enhances the performance of the wireless networks with respect to improvement in spectral efficiency, coverage, latency and security of the system. For fifth generation (5G) networks and beyond, massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) is considered as a key physical layer technology. Thus, its combination with PNC can significantly enhance the performance of the network, facilitating capacity-coverage improvement, among other benefits. While the bit error rate performance of multiuser massive MIMO-PNC systems through linear detection has been investigated extensively, their coverage probability for a given target signal-to-noise ratio has not been explored yet. In this paper, we derive a closed form expression for coverage probability in PNC based multiuser massive MIMO systems employing zero-forcing equalization. Both theoretical and simulation results are provided for different number of users and antennas in the multiuser massive MIMO-PNC communications systems.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Hybrid Beamforming Strategies for Secure Multicell Multiuser Mmwave Mimo Communications(Elsevier, 2021) Özbek, Berna; Erdoğan, Oğulcan; Busari, Sherif A.; Gonzalez, JonathanOver the last decade, many advancements have been made in the field of wireless communications. Among the major technology enablers being explored for the beyond fifth-generation (B5G) networks at the physical layer (PHY), a great deal of attention has been focused on millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna systems and beamforming techniques. These enablers bring to the forefront great opportunities for enhancing the performance of B5G networks, concerning spectral efficiency, energy efficiency, latency, and reliability. The wireless communication is prone to information leakage to the unintended nodes due to its open nature. Hence, the secure communication is becoming more critical in the wireless networks. To address this challenge, the concept of Physical Layer Security (PLS) is explored in the literature. In this paper, we examine the mmWave transmission through linear beamforming techniques for PLS based systems. We propose the secure multiuser (MU) MIMO mmWave communications by employing hybrid beamforming at the base stations (BSs), legitimate users and eavesdroppers. Using three Dimensional (3D) mmWave channel model for each node, we utilize the artificial noise (AN) beamforming to jam the transmission of eavesdropper and to enhance the secrecy rate. The secrecy performance on multicell mmWave MU-MIMO downlink communications is demonstrated to reveal the key points directly related to the system security for B5G wireless systems.
