Abstract

Age of Information (AoI) has attracted much attention recently due to its capability of characterizing the freshness of information. To improve information freshness over fading channels, efficient scheduling methods are highly desired for wireless transmissions. However, due to the channel instability and arrival randomness, optimizing AoI is very challenging. In this paper, we are interested in the AoI-optimal transmissions with rate-adaptive transmission schemes in a buffer-aware system. More specifically, we utilize a probabilistic scheduling method to minimize the AoI while satisfying an average power constraint. By characterizing the probabilistic scheduling policy with a Constrained Markov Decision Process (CMDP), we formulate a Linear Programming (LP) problem. Further, a low complexity algorithm is presented to obtain the optimal scheduling policy, which is proved to belong to a set of semi-threshold-based policies. Numerical results verify the reduction in computational complexity and the optimality of semi-threshold-based policy, which indicates that we can achieve well real-time service with a low calculating complexity.

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