Abstract :
Channel reciprocity is an inherent feature of time division duplex (TDD) system while in frequency division duplex (FDD) system it is limited due to different frequencies being used for the uplink and the downlink. As a consequence, channel reciprocity-based secret generating methods used in TDD systems cannot be applied directly to FDD systems. In this paper, we present a novel secret key generation method for FDD system, for which the communication pair estimate the channel state information (CSI) of the same time in the uplink by a specially designed forwarding strategy and generate the secret key from the CSI estimates. Numerical simulations are implemented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
