This book discusses the problems of  Physical Layer Security (PLS) in Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS)-assisted wireless networks.

It also discusses the corresponding methods to solve these problems in a comprehensive style.  Furthermore, some potential challenges are well analyzed.

This book is divided into 11 chapters.  Chapter 1 introduces the propagation characteristics of IRS-aided PLS communications. From Chapter 2 to Chapter 10,

The authors mainly provide deep investigations of different PLS problems of  IRS-aided wireless networks,...

In an effort to overcome the spectral efficiency loss and high latency by half-duplex (HD), full-duplex (FD) has attracted extensive attention in industry and academia. With signal transmitted and received simultaneously over the same frequency, FD can approximately double the SE over HD. More than that, by enabling the capability of simultaneous transmission-and-reception for communication nodes, full duplex (FD) is a key enabler for many 5G techniques, including but not limited to integrated sensing and communication, low-latency relaying, concurrent bi-directional uplink and downlink...

This book introduces the fundamentals of physical layer security (PLS) and demonstrates how a variety of PLS techniques can be applied to improve the security of wireless communication systems. In particular, this book covers three security aspects of wireless communications. It includes secrecy, i.e., preventing eavesdroppers from intercepting information from transmitted wireless signals, covertness, i.e., hiding the transmitted signals themselves from malicious wardens and authentication, i.e., authenticating the identities of communicating entities. 

When discussing the secrecy...
