Abstract

Wireless signals are commonly used for communications. Emerging applications are giving new functions to wireless signals, in which wireless sensing is the most attractive one. Channel state information (CSI) is not only the parameter for channel equalization in communications but also the indicator for wireless sensing. However, due to the broadcast nature of wireless signals, eavesdroppers can easily capture legitimate user signals and violate user privacy by measuring CSI. Moreover, the advancement of hardware simplifies illegal eavesdropping since smart devices can track over-the-air signals through walls. Therefore, this work considers a waveform-defined privacy (WDP) solution that can hide CSI phase information and therefore protect user privacy. Besides, the proposed waveform solution achieves better performance due to the use of a unique modulation mechanism. Additionally, by tuning a waveform parameter, the waveform can also enhance communication security.
