We consider that a transmitter covertly communicates with multiple receivers under the help of a friendly jammer. The messages intended for different receivers are transmitted in mutually orthogonal frequency bands. An adversary observes…
With conventional anti-jamming solutions like frequency hopping or spread spectrum, legitimate transceivers often tend to "escape" or "hide" themselves from jammers. These reactive anti-jamming approaches are constrained by the lack of…
