Friendly Cyclic Pre?x (CP) Jamming for Physical Layer Security

Tech ID: 15A034

Competitive Advantages

  •     Increased security for wireless communication
  •     Legitimate user signal unaffected
  •     No error during decoding operation
  •     Does not require complex processing or spectral resources

Summary

USF Inventors have developed a novel way to prevent eavesdroppers from gaining access via wireless signals. Friendly CP jamming broadcasts a jamming signal to interfere with the signal that the eavesdropper receives. This then prevents the attacker from decoding the information correctly. The technology performs jamming during the CP duration at the receiver side, independent of the remaining processes. Thus, the data portion of adversaries can be distorted by the jamming signal due to propagation delay. However, there is no interference or distortion on the legitimate receiver's data. This is accomplished without requiring any complex processing and spectral resources. The method adds a layer of security for any wireless signals, providing great benefits for Wi-Fi and telecommunication devices.
