RS Codes with Filtered-OFDM: A Waveform Contender for 5G Mobile Communication Systems

In recent years, the proportion of elderly population in various countries has gradually increased. Increasing with age, it can entail illness. When these diseases are sudden, the elderly often die because there is no immediate treatment. Elderly care has become an important issue. According to this issue, we want to monitor the physiological data of the elderly, such as heartbeat, blood pressure, etc., through wearable devices. Once an abnormal condition is detected, the wearable device can be used to immediately request treatment from a nearby clinic or hospital. In order to improve the network quality of this service, we use the architecture of the mobile edge computing. The mobile edge computing provides features such as immediacy, low latency, proximity etc. However, the process of data transmission on the mobile edge computing has the risk of being stolen and identity authentication is also an important issue. Therefore, we propose a secure protocol based on cryptography to protect personal information with lightweight authentication. The proposed scheme aims to achieve mutual authentication, non-repudiation, integrity, user privacy, and defend against known attacks.
