The project's objective is to develop the foundations for realizing denial of service (DoS)-resilience, secrecy, and high throughput in next-generation wireless networks in which base stations or access points (APs) scale their antenna and computing resources to massive multiple-input/multiple-output (massive MIMO). This project considers a practical yet strong adversary that launches both active attacks, attempting to collapse network throughput by polluting AP measurement of Channel State Information (CSI), as well as passive attacks, that attempt to intercept communication via potentially distributed and nomadic eavesdroppers. The first project thrust targets to detect and defend against pilot contamination attacks with zero startup cost, i.e., without requiring prior measurements of conditions without an attack. The second project thrust experimentally explores passive eavesdropping under realworld factors such as a large but finite number of antennas and a discrete and limited set of modulation and coding schemes (MCS). With a discovery of MCS saturation vulnerability, the project will study power control designed to overcome this vulnerability and thwart the adversary. On the uplink, the third project thrust develops antenna index coding as means to target reception on a subset of the massive MIMO array. A key outcome will be both derivation of the secrecy rate as well as experimental evaluation of this new mechanism. All three project thrusts will include an extensive experimental study using the Rice massive MIMO platform and over-the-air measurements. As computing and communication resources must be devoted to realizing the aforementioned counter mechanisms, this project will yield empirical understanding of the tradeoffs in realizing both high spectral efficiency and security.The proposed research agenda will enable new wireless security defenses and will provide an in-depth understanding of securing next generation communication systems such as massive MIMO. This project will yield new understanding of the design space that spans from traditional throughput optimization to jointly realizing security features and providing security by design. This project will yield new understanding of the security capabilities and limits of designs based on CSI as a shared secret. This project will impact standards bodies as it will expose fundamental limits of existing security mechanisms and will show how enhancements to standards can yield dramatically improved security capabilities. This project will impact industry through demonstration of results coupled with the researchers' extensive collaborative industry network. Finally, the project includes an inter-disciplinary methodology and the team includes multiple Ph.D. students from under-represented groups.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目的目标是开发实现拒绝服务（DOS）的基础（DOS） - 富度，保密和高吞吐量，在下一代无线网络中，基本站或访问点（APS）将其天线和计算资源扩展到大量多输入/多输入（大量MIMO）。该项目考虑了一个实用而强大的对手，该项目既发动了主动攻击，试图通过污染AP测量渠道状态信息（CSI）以及被动攻击来崩溃网络吞吐量，并试图通过潜在的分布式和游牧的埃维德罗普斯拦截通信。第一个项目推力目标是检测并防御零启动成本的飞行员污染攻击，即，不需要事先测量条件而没有攻击。第二个项目推力实验探索在现实世界中的被动窃听，例如大量但有限的天线以及离散且有限的调制和编码方案（MCS）。随着MCS饱和脆弱性的发现，该项目将研究旨在克服这种漏洞并挫败对手的电力控制。在上行链路上，第三个项目推力会形成天线指数编码，以此作为在大规模MIMO阵列子集上靶向接收的手段。一个关键的结果将是对保密率的推导以及对该新机制的实验评估。这三个项目的推力将包括使用稻米大量MIMO平台和空中测量的广泛实验研究。由于必须专门实现上述反对机制的计算和通信资源，因此该项目将在实现高光谱效率和安全性方面对权衡进行经验理解。拟议的研究议程将实现新的无线安全防御能力，并将提供对确保下一代通信系统（例如大型MIMO）的深入了解。该项目将对从传统吞吐量优化到共同实现安全功能并通过设计提供安全性的设计空间有新的了解。该项目将对基于CSI的设计的安全功能和限制产生新的了解，作为共享的秘密。该项目将影响标准机构，因为它将暴露现有安全机制的基本限制，并将显示标准的增强功能如何产生大幅提高的安全能力。该项目将通过展示结果以及研究人员广泛的协作行业网络来影响行业。最后，该项目包括一种跨学科方法，该团队包括多个博士学位。来自代表性不足的小组的学生。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来评估值得支持的。
