Abstract:
Recently, a frequency diverse array (FDA) has been employed in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmitter to achieve secure wireless communication without mathematical encryption. However, an insecure coupling effect arises if the frequency increments are linearly assigned to all antenna elements. To solve this problem, random subcarrier-selection methods are proposed; however, the challenge lies in the random selection of subcarriers. Inspired by the randomness of index modulation (IM), this paper proposes a low complexity random subcarrier-selection method based on index modulation (RSCS-IM). Specifically, this work conducted analysis on the spectral efficiency (SE) of our system and the computational complexity of RSCS-IM, which works out a closed-form expression of the BER performance of a desired position and validates the theoretical outcomes through simulation.
