Popis: Compressive sensing (CS) has been extensively employed in uplink grant-free communications, where data generated from different active users are transmitted to a base station (BS) without following the strict access grant process. Nevertheless, the state-of-the-art CS algorithms rely on a highly limited category of measurement matrix, that is, pilot matrix, which may be analyzed by an eavesdropper (Eve) to infer the user’s channel information. Thus, the physical layer security becomes a critical issue in uplink grant-free communications. In this article, the channel reciprocity in time-division duplex systems is utilized to design environment-aware (EA) pilots derived from transmission channels to prevent eavesdroppers from acquiring users’ channel information. The simulation results show that the proposed EA-based pilot approach possesses a high level of security by scrambling the Eve’s normalized mean square error performance of channel estimation.
