Abstract

This paper considers linear precoding for constant channel-coefficient $K$-User MIMO Gaussian Interference Channel (MIMO GIC) where each transmitter-$i$ (Tx-$i$), requires to send $d_i$ independent complex symbols per channel use that take values from fixed finite constellations with uniform distribution, to receiver-$i$ (Rx-$i$) for $i=1,2,\cdots,K$. We define the maximum rate achieved by Tx-$i$ using any linear precoder, when the interference channel-coefficients are zero, as the signal to noise ratio (SNR) tends to infinity to be the Constellation Constrained Saturation Capacity (CCSC) for Tx-$i$. We derive a high SNR approximation for the rate achieved by Tx-$i$ when interference is treated as noise and this rate is given by the mutual information between Tx-$i$ and Rx-$i$, denoted as $I[X_i;Y_i]$. A set of necessary and sufficient conditions on the precoders under which $I[X_i;Y_i]$ tends to CCSC for Tx-$i$ is derived. Interestingly, the precoders designed for interference alignment (IA) satisfy these necessary and sufficient conditions. Further, we propose gradient-ascent based algorithms to optimize the sum-rate achieved by precoding with finite constellation inputs and treating interference as noise. Simulation study using the proposed algorithms for a 3-user MIMO GIC with two antennas at each node with $d_i=1$ for all $i$, and with BPSK and QPSK inputs, show more than 0.1 bits/sec/Hz gain in the ergodic sum-rate over that yielded by precoders obtained from some known IA algorithms, at moderate SNRs.

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 $a_i\in \mathbb{F}_2$, $1\le i\le n$.
