We study the fundamental limits of covert communications over general memoryless additive-noise channels. We assume that the legitimate receiver and the eavesdropper share the same channel and therefore see the same outputs. Under mild…

A class of cognitive interference channel with state is investigated, in which two transmitters (transmitters 1 and 2) communicate with two receivers (receivers 1 and 2) over an interference channel. The two transmitters jointly transmit a…
