Secure Interference Exploitation Precoding in MISO Wiretap Channel: Destructive Region Redefinition with Efficient Solutions

In this paper, we focus on the physical layer security for a K-user multiple-input-single-output (MISO) wiretap channel in the presence of a malicious eavesdropper, where we propose several interference exploitation (IE) precoding schemes for different types of the eavesdropper. Specifically, in the case where a common eavesdropper decodes the signal directly and Eve's full channel state information (CSI) is available at the transmitter, we show that the required transmit power can be further reduced by re-designing the `destructive region' of the constellations for symbol-level precoding and re-formulating the power minimization problem. We further study the SINR balancing problems with the derived `complete destructive region' with full, statistical and no Eve's CSI, respectively, and show that the SINR balancing problem becomes non-convex with statistical or no Eve's CSI. On the other hand, in the presence of a smart eavesdropper using maximal likelihood (ML) detection, the security cannot be guaranteed with all the existing approaches. To this end, we further propose a random jamming scheme (RJS) and a random precoding scheme (RPS), respectively. To solve the introduced convex/non-convex problems in an efficient manner, we propose an iterative algorithm for the convex ones based on the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, and deal with the non-convex ones by resorting to Taylor expansions. Simulation results show that all proposed schemes outperform the existing works in secrecy performance, and that the proposed algorithm improves the computation efficiency significantly.

Spectrally-Resolved Photodynamics of Individual Emitters in Large-Area Monolayers of Hexagonal-Boron Nitride

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a 2D, wide band-gap semiconductor that has recently been shown to display bright room-temperature emission in the visible region, sparking immense interest in the material for use in quantum applications. In this work, we study highly crystalline, single atomic layers of chemical vapour deposition (CVD)-grown hexagonal boron nitride and find predominantly one type of emissive state. Using a multidimensional super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique we simultaneously measure spatial position, intensity and spectral properties of the emitters, as they are exposed to continuous wave illumination over minutes. As well as low emitter heterogeneity, we observe inhomogeneous broadening of emitter line-widths and power law dependency in fluorescence intermittency, this is in striking similarity to previous work on quantum dots. These results show that high control over h-BN growth and treatment can produce a narrow distribution of emitter type, and that surface interactions heavily influence the photodynamics. Furthermore, we highlight the utility of spectrally-resolved wide-field microscopy in the study of optically-active excitons in atomically thin two-dimensional materials.
