COMPOUND TRANSMISSION SECURITY (TRANSEC) FOR MILITARY-GRADE FIFTH GENERATION (5G) RADIO SYSTEMS

摘要

A multi-user (MU) multiple-input/multiple-output (MU MIMO) module for a fifth-generation (5G) software-defined radio (SDR) network environment is disclosed. In embodiments, the MU MIMO module of a transmitting SDR system of a 5G mobile ad hoc network (MANET) or other peer-to-peer directional network receives feedback from a receiving SDR system based on a prior or current frame and generates, based on the feedback, a compound transmission security (TRANSEC) encryption key for a subsequent frame. The compound TRANSEC encryption key encrypts the transmission of the subsequent frame through a combination of frequency-hopping encryption codes, orthogonality-hopping encryption codes, and dynamic pseudorandom distribution of transmitting power among antenna elements to simulate multipath hopping. The SDR system may include an antenna controller capable of managing dynamic power distribution according to the compound TRANSEC encryption keys as well as directionality shifts and beamforming operations to evade jammers detected within the 5G network environment.
