Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel physical-layer key generation (PKG) scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-orbital angular momentum (OFDM-OAM) systems to significantly enhance the confidentiality capacity (CC). In the proposed scheme, we first establish the OAM channel model under uniform circular array (UCA) misalignment in the line-of-sight (LoS) channel. Facing the risk of information leakage during key negotiation, we couple key generation with the OFDM communication process. Then, we analyze the CC of the OFDM-OAM system and derive its closed-form expression. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed OFDM-OAM PKG scheme has achieved high CC compared with existing works. In addition, as the offset angle of the eavesdropper's UCA increases, the CC increases, and the bit error rate (BER) of the eavesdropper tends to be 0.5.
