Abstract:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of wireless communication, ensuring robust security measures is paramount to safeguard sensitive data transmission. This paper explores the emerging paradigm of Physical Layer Security (PLS) as a proactive approach to fortifying next-generation wireless networks against malicious intrusions. By leveraging the unique characteristics of the physical channel, such as signal propagation and noise, PLS offers promising avenues for enhancing confidentiality and integrity without solely relying on cryptographic protocols. Through a comprehensive review of recent advancements and methodologies, this paper elucidates the principles, challenges, and potential applications of PLS in the context of next-generation wireless networks. Additionally, it discusses practical implications and future directions for integrating PLS into the design and deployment of secure wireless communication systems.
