On Channel State Feedback Model and Overhead in Theoretical and Practical Views

Abstract

Channel state feedback plays an important role to the improvement of link performance in current wireless communication systems, and even more in the next generation. The feedback information, however, consumes the uplink bandwidth and thus generates overhead. In this paper, we investigate the impact of channel state feedback and propose an improved scheme to reduce the overhead in practical communication systems. Compared with existing schemes, we introduce a more accurate channel model to describe practical wireless channels and obtain the theoretical lower bounds of overhead for the periodical and aperiodical feedback schemes. The obtained theoretical results provide us the guidance to optimise the design of feedback systems, such as the number of bits used for quantizing channel states. We thus propose a practical feedback scheme that achieves low overhead and improved performance over currently widely used schemes such as zero holding. Simulation experiments confirm its advantages and suggest its potentially wide applications in the next generation of wireless systems.

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