Covert Communication with Incumbent Channel Activities

H Ding, J An - IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we investigate the throughput performance of covert communication over a
channel with incumbent channel activities. Unlike existing work, we explicitly consider the …

Gaussian signalling for covert communications

S Yan, Y Cong, SV Hanly, X Zhou - IEEE Transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we examine the optimality of Gaussian signalling for covert communications
with an upper bound on D (p 1|| p 0) or D (p 0|| p 1) as the covertness constraint, where D (p …

Covert communication with noise and channel uncertainties

HQ Ta, QV Pham, K Ho-Van, SW Kim - Wireless Networks, 2022 - Springer
Covert communication is critical to guarantee a strong security and secure user privacy. In
this work, we consider adversary's noise and channel uncertainties and analyze their impact …

Multi-User Cooperation for Covert Communication Under Quasi-Static Fading

J Lee, DT Dinh, H Yeom, SH Lee… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This work studies a covert communication scheme for an uplink multi-user scenario in which
some users are opportunistically selected to help a covert user. In particular, the selected …

Multi-antenna covert communication via full-duplex jamming against a warden with uncertain locations

X Chen, W Sun, C Xing, N Zhao, Y Chen… - IEEE Transactions …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Covert communication can hide the information transmission process from the warden to
prevent adversarial eavesdropping. However, it becomes challenging when the location of …

Act before another is aware: Safeguarding backscatter systems with covert communications

B Gu, H Xie, D Li - IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This letter investigates and analyzes covert communications to safeguard backscatter
systems, ie, how to hide backscattering transmission for privacy and security, which is rarely …

Joint relay and jammer selection for covert communication

J Jiang, W Yang, R Ma - 2021 7th International Conference on …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we investigate covert communication where the relay and the jammer are
jointly selected. It is demonstrated that the improvement of covert communication …

Multi-antenna covert communication achieved by exploiting a public communication link

L Yuda, J Liang, W Hu… - … Conference on Wireless …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A multi-antenna covert communication system under fading channels is proposed in this
paper, where the existing public communication link is exploited as a cover. With the warden …

Covert communications on continuous-time channels in the presence of jamming

TV Sobers, BA Bash, S Guha… - 2017 51st Asilomar …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Covert communication is achieved if the transmitter (Alice) sends messages to a legitimate
receiver (Bob) without detection by an attentive warden (Willie). Recently, there has been …

Covert communications without channel state information at receiver in IoT systems

J Hu, S Yan, X Zhou, F Shu… - IEEE Internet of Things …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Covert communications can hide the very existence of wireless transmissions and thus are
able to address privacy issues in numerous applications of the emerging Internet of Things …
