Securing dynamic spectrum use
Minghao Cui, Violet R. Syrotiuk, Charles J. Colbourn · 2005
We consider the problem of securely utilizing dynamic temporal and spatial "holes" in the communications spectrum. Given a model of spectral availability, we consider the problems of secure link establishment, authentication, and a secure method to employ the holes. In a tactical environment, evading interception and detection (LPI/LPD) is critical; hence coding techniques are applied. A simulation study shows that our approach can interoperate within an existing architecture.
