High Spectral Efficiency Secure Communications with Nonorthogonal Physical and Multiple Access Layers

Internet of Things as an essential integrated part of the future wireless communication system provides ubiquitous connectivity and information exchange to enable a range of applications and services, which has triggered spectrum resource pressure, multiple access, bandwidth efficiency, and security issues. Focusing on these issues, a high spectral efficiency secure access (HSESA) scheme based on dual nonorthogonal is proposed first in this paper. The scheme which can be recognized as a dual nonorthogonal scheme is designed by the nonorthogonal multiplexing and nonorthogonal multiple access. Particularly, HSESA scheme is equipped with secure multiplexing by using security matrix to improve physical layer security. Moreover, spectral efficiency analysis is given and the throughput of HSESA has been derived. Moreover, iterative detection (ID) and maximum likelihood (ML) are, respectively, combined with message passing algorithm (MPA) as detection schemes, and their respective performance advantages are analyzed. Simulation results show that the detection scheme using ID combined with MPA has lower complexity, while ML combined with MPA has better bit error rate performance, and the spectral efficiency is also enhanced by the proposed HSESA.
