NOMA security scheme based on constellation camouflage and selective mapping

Abstract

This study aims to present a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) security scheme based on constellation camouflage and selective mapping. To improve the security of the system, we use a four-dimensional chaos model to camouflage high-power signals at the transmitter. The constellation diagram of high power is disguised from binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) form to quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) form, and after power multiplexing, further camouflaged from 8 points to 16 points. To improve the transmission performance of the designed system as much as possible and not increase the computational complexity, we use the selective mapping method in the process of power multiplexing and use the region decision method for demodulation at the receiving end. The proposed scheme is verified by experiments on a 2-km 7-core optical fiber, and achieves the safety transmission of a power division multiplexing–orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (PDM-OFDM) signal with a net rate of 97.38 Gb/s without signal damage. The maximum achievable key space of the proposed scheme is 10135. Hence, it is a feasible and secure non-orthogonal multiple access-passive optical network scheme.
