    The Resilience of Massive Mimo Pnc To Jamming Attacks in Vehicular Networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Okyere, Bismark; Musavian, Leila; Özbek, Berna; Busari, Sherif A.; Gonzalez, Jonathan
    In this article, we investigate the resilience of Massive MIMO Physical Layer Network Coding (PNC) to jamming attack in both sub-6 GHz and millimeter-Wave (mmWave) systems in vehicular networks. Massive MIMO generally is resilient to jamming attacks, and we investigate the impact that PNC has on this resilience, if combined with Massive MIMO. The combination of Massive MIMO and PNC has shown a significant improvement in the bit error rate (BER) in our previous investigation. The corresponding framework is analysed against a barraging attack from a jammer, where the jamming channel is not known to the base station (BS), and the jammer can use any number of transmit antennas. Over Rayleigh channel, our simulation results reveal that Massive MIMO PNC performs better in the lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions to jamming attacks and this is achieved at twice the spectral efficiency. A similar performance is observed over mmWave channel.

    A Novel Joint Index Modulation and Physical Layer Network Coding Mechanism for Beyond 5g
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Okyere, Bismark; Musavian, Leila; Özbek, Berna; Busari, Sherif A.; Gonzalez, Jonathan
    In beyond 5G communications, besides energy efficiency (EE) and spectral efficiency (SE), latency and reliability are among the main metrics that extreme ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) applications must fulfill. Although new techniques are sought after to meet the crunching requirements of URLLC, combining existing phys-ical-layer techniques have become a compelling, attractive, and cost saving approach to achieving the same goal. In this article, we describe a novel mechanism combining physical layer network coding (PNC) and index modulation (IM) to achieve a balance between SE and EE for URLLC applications beyond 5G. PNC has the potential to increase SE because it leverages on interference from many transmissions occurring at the same time. Although fewer resources are required for IM the capacity gain is the same as if all transmission resources are used, and as a result, both EE and SE can increase simultaneously. Our simulation results show the feasibility of combining these two key physical-lay-er techniques, affirming the complementary role this approach will play in meeting the performance KPIs of URLLC beyond 5G. © 2017 IEEE.
