An Interpolated Quantized Guard Band Algorithm for Physical Layer Key Generation

With the continuous progress of communication technology, traditional encryption algorithms cannot meet the demands of modern wireless communication security. Secure communication based on physical layer encryption emerges as a solution. To meet the low Key Disagreement Rate (KDR) and high Key Generation Rate (KGR) requirements for physical layer key generation, this paper proposes two quantization algorithms, Improve-CQG and Interpolate-CQG, based on the Channel Quantization with Guard band (CQG) algorithm. The former divides the characteristic quantization into two phases: threshold filtering and guard band quantization, while the latter adds a step after these two phases: interpolation quantization. Compared to the CQG algorithm, the Improve-CQG algorithm enhances the granularity of filtered quantization values. The core concept of the Interpolate-CQG algorithm is to utilize threshold filtering and the rounded-off quantization values from the guard band quantization phase. The symbol information corresponding to these index values is replaced by a new interpolated symbol and inserted into the key by the agreed quantized coordinates. Simulation proves that the Interpolate-CQG is an effective quantization algorithm for the key generation with lower KDR and higher KGR than the Improve-CQA and Improve-CQG.
