We consider the problem of covert communication over a state-dependent channel when the channel state is available either non-causally, causally, or strictly causally, either at the transmitter alone or at both transmitter and receiver.…

We propose a method for covert communications using an IEEE 802.11 OFDM/QAM packet as a carrier. We show how to hide the covert message so that the transmitted signal does not violate the spectral mask specified by the standard, and we…
