Physical-Layer Security for 6G

Meet the wireless security challenges of the future with this key volume

The 6th generation of wireless communication technology—known as 6G—promises to bring both revolutionary advances and unique challenges. Secure communications will be harder than ever to achieve under the new integrated ground, air, and space networking paradigm, with increased connectivity creating the potential for increased vulnerability. Physical-layer security, which draws upon the physical properties of the channel or network to secure information, has emerged as a promising solution to these challenges.

Physical-Layer Security for 6G provides a working introduction to these technologies and their burgeoning wireless applications. With particular attention to heterogeneous and distributed network scenarios, this book offers both the information-theory fundamentals and the most recent developments in physical-layer security. It constitutes an essential resource for meeting the unique security challenges of 6G.

Physical-Layer Security for 6G readers will also find:

• Analysis of physical-layer security in the quality of security framework (QoSec)
• Detailed discussion of physical-layer security applications in visible light communication (VLC), intelligence reflecting surface (IRS), and more
• Practical use cases and demonstrations

Physical-Layer Security for 6G is ideal for wireless research engineers as well as advanced graduate students in wireless technology.
