Secure channel training to enhance the confidentiality level of a power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) communication system when impaired by eavesdropping attacks coming from inside and outside of the network. In a first scenario, a cooperative jammer available in the system defines an external source of entropy that is independent of the channel variation rate. While the jammer provides secrecy inside the network, the proposed invention is configured to secure the network from outside, encoding the system information, which is exchanged during the training phase, using only the channel state. In a second scenario, the cooperative jammer is not available; with the secrecy inside and outside of the network ensured through a different parameterization. That parameterization is done in a way that the required system information is encoded using not only the channels, but also a random phase defined in the data communication phase.

Aspects of the present disclosure describe scrambling of information for wireless communications to prevent deciphering or altering by unintended recipients. An example method may include generating, by a first device, a scrambling key based on at least one of a freshness parameter or a private key. The private key is known by the first device and a second device. The method also includes scrambling a payload based on the scrambling key at a physical layer. A packet includes the payload for wireless transmission from the first device to the second device via a shared channel.

Techniques are described for the exchange of control signals between a controlled unmanned aircraft (i.e. drone) and a ground control station and for the transmission of communication signals, such as video, from the drone to the ground control station so that the signals are more difficult to intercept or jam. The video signal transmitted from the drone can be an analog RF signal employing one or more of video scrambling, RF signal inversion, hopping, usage of a wide frequency range and other techniques. To secure the control signals between the drone and the ground control station, techniques can include hopping, encryption and use of a wide frequency range.
