This paper investigates the impact of a bit-labeling scheme on the security performance of BICM systems and proposes optimization algorithms for bit-labeling. The results show that the proposed bit-labeling can significantly improve performance while degrading the error rate performance of the legitimate receiver, and can be combined with coding schemes to reduce the security gap.
In this paper, we investigate the impact of a bit-labeling scheme on security performance of bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) systems for the Gaussian wiretap channel, where the concept of security gap plays an important role. To exemplify this, we present optimization algorithms of bit-labeling, where a difference of the achievable information rates (AIRs) for the legitimate receiver and the eavesdropper is maximized. Our results demonstrate that the conventional Gray labeling may not be necessarily optimal in terms of security gap, and the proposed bit-labeling can significantly improve its performance at the cost of degradation in the achievable bit-error rate (BER) performance by the legitimate receiver. We also demonstrate that, for high order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), such as 64QAM, the dimension-wise optimization of bit-labeling may be sufficient to achieve similar security gap performance to the direct two-dimensional optimization. The proposed bit-labeling optimization approach can be combined with the state-of-the-art coding schemes to further reduce a security gap.
