Secure multiple-users transmission using multi-path directional modulation

This work introduces a physical-layer secure multiple-users communication scheme. Our scheme employs the multi-path nature of the wireless channel to provide a different secure communication link for each of the legitimate users. We show that the proposed scheme highly degrades the eavesdroppers channel even for the worst case scenarios. We also provide the secrecy capacity and secrecy outage probability for the proposed scheme. We analyze the effect of the number of users, channel paths, and antenna elements on the secrecy performance of the scheme.
