Abstract

In this paper, we consider a multi-hop energy harvesting (EH) communication system in a full-duplex mode, where arrival data and harvested energy curves in the source and the relays are modeled as general functions. This model includes the EH system with discrete arrival processes as a special case. We investigate the throughput maximization problem considering minimum utilized energy in the source and relays and find the optimal offline algorithm. We show that the optimal solution of the two-hop transmission problem have three main steps: (i) Solving a point-to-point throughput maximization problem at the source; (ii) Solving a point-to-point throughput maximization problem at the relay (after applying the solution of first step as the input of this second problem); (iii) Minimizing utilized energy in the source. In addition, we show that how the optimal algorithm for the completion time minimization problem can be derived from the proposed algorithm for throughput maximization problem. Also, for the throughput maximization problem, we propose an online algorithm and show that it is more efficient than the benchmark one (which is a direct application of an existing point-to-point online algorithm to the multi-hop system).

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