Abstract

In this work, we consider a discrete-time stationary Rayleigh flat-fading channel with unknown channel state information at transmitter and receiver. The law of the channel is presumed to be known to the receiver. In addition, we assume the power spectral density (PSD) of the fading process to be compactly supported. For i.i.d. zero-mean proper Gaussian input distributions, we investigate the achievable rate. One of the main contributions is the derivation of two new upper bounds on the achievable rate with zero-mean proper Gaussian input symbols. The first one holds only for the special case of a rectangular PSD and depends on the SNR and the spread of the PSD. Together with a lower bound on the achievable rate, which is achievable with i.i.d. zero-mean proper Gaussian input symbols, we have found a set of bounds which is tight in the sense that their difference is bounded. Furthermore, we show that the high SNR slope is characterized by a pre-log of 1-2f_d, where f_d is the normalized maximum Doppler frequency. This pre-log is equal to the high SNR pre-log of the peak power constrained capacity. Furthermore, we derive an alternative upper bound on the achievable rate with i.i.d. input symbols which is based on the one-step channel prediction error variance. The novelty lies in the fact that this bound is not restricted to peak power constrained input symbols like known bounds, e.g. in [1]. Therefore, the derived upper bound can also be used to evaluate the achievable rate with i.i.d. proper Gaussian input symbols. We compare the derived bounds on the achievable rate with i.i.d. zero-mean proper Gaussian input symbols with bounds on the peak power constrained capacity given in [1-3]. Finally, we compare the achievable rate with i.i.d. zero-mean proper Gaussian input symbols with the achievable rate using synchronized detection in combination with a solely pilot based channel estimation.

Fundamental Scaling Laws of Covert Communication in the Presence of Block Fading

Covert communication is the undetected transmission of sensitive information over a communication channel. In wireless communication systems, channel impairments such as signal fading present challenges in the effective implementation and analysis of covert communication systems. This paper generalizes early work in the covert communication field by considering asymptotic results for the number of bits that can be covertly transmitted in $n$ channel uses on a block fading channel. Critical to the investigation is characterizing the performance of optimal detectors at the adversary. Matching achievable and converse results are presented.

Sequence Reconstruction over the Deletion Channel

In this paper, we consider the Levenshtein's sequence reconstruction problem in the case where the transmitted codeword is chosen from $\{0,1\}^n$ and the channel can delete up to $t$ symbols from the transmitted codeword. We determine the minimum number of channel outputs (assuming that they are distinct) required to reconstruct a list of size $\ell-1$ of candidate sequences, one of which corresponds to the original transmitted sequence. More specifically, we determine the maximum possible size of the intersection of $\ell \geq 3$ deletion balls of radius $t$ centered at $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_{\ell}$, where $x_i \in \{0,1\}^n$ for all $i \in \{1,2,\dots,\ell\}$ and $x_i \neq x_j$ for $i \neq j$, with $ n \geq t+\ell-1$ and $t \geq 1$.

A generalization of the map $χ$

The mapping $ χ_n:\mathbb{F}_2^n \to \mathbb{F}_2^n$ defined by $y=χ_n(x)$ with $y_i = x_i + x_{i+1}x_{i+2} + x_{i+2}$, where the indices are computed modulo $n$, has been widely studied for its application in lightweight cryptography. In this paper, we generalize this mapping and completely characterize all these shift-invariant permutations of the form $y_i=x_{i+u}+x_{i+v}(x_{i+w}+a_i)$, where $0\le u, v, w<n$ and $a_i\in \mathbb{F}_2$, $1\le i\le n$.
