Consider a scenario where Alice wishes to send a message $m$ to Bob in a time-slotted wireless network. However, there exists an adversary, Carol, who aims to prevent the transmission of $m$ by jamming the communication channel. There is a…
In this work, we examine the optimality of Gaussian signalling for covert communications with an upper bound on $\mathcal{D}(p_{_1}||p_{_0})$ or $\mathcal{D}(p_{_0}||p_{_1})$ as the covertness constraint, where $\mathcal{D}(p_{_1}||p_{_0})$…

This paper considers a state dependent broadcast channel with one transmitter, Alice, and two receivers, Bob and Eve. The problem is to effectively convey ("amplify") the channel state sequence to Bob while "masking" it from Eve. The extent…
