description Based on the existing 5G NR system, a physical-layer watermarking scheme is proposed to enhance the physical-layer security in 5G communication systems. A new scheme for watermark generation is proposed to improve the robustness of the authentication. The watermark signal is embedded in the phase of the demodulation reference signal (DMRS), and the influence of the watermark on the demodulation reference signal is reduced by designing the encoder of the watermark. Simulation results show that the watermarking scheme proposed in this paper has good anti-noise and anti-frequency-offset performance, and has good feasibility both in the Gaussian channel and Rayleigh fading channel.
