A Novel Waveform Design for OFDM-Based Joint Sensing and Communication System

Abstract

The dominating waveform in 5G is orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM will remain a promising waveform candidate for joint communication and sensing (JCAS) in 6G since OFDM can provide excellent data transmission capability and accurate sensing information. This paper proposes a novel OFDM-based diagonal waveform structure and corresponding signal processing algorithm. This approach allocates the sensing signals along the diagonal of the time-frequency resource block. Therefore, the sensing signals in a linear structure span both the frequency and time domains. The range and velocity of the object can be estimated simultaneously by applying 1D-discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to the diagonal sensing signals. Compared to the conventional 2D-DFT OFDM radar algorithm, the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is low. In addition, the sensing overhead can be substantially reduced. The performance of the proposed waveform is evaluated using simulation and analysis of results.

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