| Abstract | High levels of security are essential in wireless communications multimedia applications. In this paper, we propose a new approach to performance enhancement of existing physical layer security schemes, taking advantage of the characteristics of the OFDM technique, while exploiting the channel characteristics during the channel estimation process. OFDM is carrying on its subcarriers the pilot symbols, essential for the pilot channel estimation process performed at the legitimate receiver. Conventionally, the position of the subcarriers carrying the pilot symbols is fixed and known to all receivers. In this paper the positions of the subcarriers carrying the pilot symbols change randomly from one OFDM symbol to the next according to a selected distribution around the fixed predefined positions within the OFDM symbols. When a mobile phone communicates to an eNodeB for the first time, the eNodeB and the mobile phone use the imprinting mechanism to establish trust between them. In this phase the eNodeB and the mobile phone share information (e.g. the time-stamp of initial communication) that will allow identification between them in order to set-up the mechanism of non-fixed pilot subcarrier positions using encryption. Thus, an eavesdropper, not capable to decrypt the information related to the non-fixed pilot subcarrier positions is forced to perform blind channel estimation. Our approach is focused on the channel characteristics in order to provide security mechanisms for transmission of multimedia data. The theoretical analysis is confirmed by simulations, and the metrics used are the channel mean square error, the bit-error rate and the secrecy capacity. As stated in the results Section, the proposed scheme is very simple, and robust, strengthening privacy in multimedia applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
