Abstract

In this paper, we propose using a generic protograph to design joint source-channel codes (JSCCs). We present a generalized algorithm, called protograph extrinsic information transfer for JSCC algorithm (PEXIT-JSCC algorithm), for analyzing the channel threshold of the proposed JSCC. We also propose a source generic protograph EXIT (SGP-EXIT) algorithm, which is more appropriate than the generalized source protograph extrinsic information transfer (GSP-EXIT) algorithm, for evaluating the source threshold of a generic protograph. Moreover, a collaborative optimization method based on the SGP-EXIT and PEXIT-JSCC algorithms is proposed to construct generic-protograph JSCCs with good source and channel thresholds. Finally, we construct generic-protograph JSCCs, analyze their decoding thresholds, and compare their theoretical and error performance with JSCC systems based on optimized double-protographs. Results show that our proposed codes can attain channel thresholds within 1 dB from the Shannon limit and outperform double-protograph-based JSCCs.

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