Several recent standards such as IEEE 802.11a/g, IEEE 802.16, and ECMA Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) for high data-rate Ultra-Wideband (UWB), employ bit-interleaved convolutionally-coded multicarrier…

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.…
Diffusion models (DMs) have recently achieved significant success in wireless communications systems due to their denoising capabilities. The broadcast nature of wireless signals makes them susceptible not only to Gaussian noise, but also…
We study a backscatter communication protocol over a AWGN channel, where a transmitter illuminates a tag with a directional multi-antenna. The tag performs load modulation on the signal while hiding its physical presence from a warden. We…
