Abstract

In the two-user Gaussian interference channel with Gaussian inputs and treating interference as noise (TIN), improper complex signals can be beneficial if time-sharing is not allowed or if only the data rates are averaged over several transmit strategies (convex hull formulation). On the other hand, proper (circularly symmetric) signals have recently been shown to be optimal if coded time-sharing is considered, i.e., if both the data rates and the transmit powers are averaged. In this paper, we show that both conclusions remain the same if single-input multiple-output (SIMO) systems with multiple antennas at the receivers are considered. The proof for the case with coded time-sharing is via a novel enhanced channel concept for the two-user SIMO interference channel, which turns out to deliver a tight outer bound to the TIN rate region with coded time-sharing. The result for the case without coded time-sharing is demonstrated by studying specific examples in which a newly proposed composite real gradient-projection method for improper signaling can outperform the globally optimal proper signaling strategy. In addition, we discuss how the achievable TIN rate region with coded time-sharing can be computed numerically.

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