The effectiveness and simple implementation of physical layer jammers make them an essential threat for wireless networks. In a multihop wireless network, where jammers can interfere with the transmission of user messages at intermediate…
Model Predictive Control (MPC) is often tuned by trial and error. When a baseline linear controller exists that is already well tuned in the absence of constraints and MPC is introduced to enforce them, one would like to avoid altering the…
The wakeup problem addresses the fundamental challenge of symmetry breaking. Initially, n devices share a time-slotted multiple access channel, which models wireless communication. A transmission succeeds if exactly one device sends in a…
We analyze arbitrarily varying classical-quantum wiretap channels.These channels are subject to two attacks at the same time: one passive (eavesdropping), and one active (jamming). We progress on previous works by introducing a reduced…
We study communication over multiple access channels (MAC) where one of the users is possibly adversarial. When all users are non-adversarial, we want their messages to be decoded reliably. When an adversary is present, we consider two…
This paper deals with adaptive radar detection of a subspace signal competing with two sources of interference. The former is Gaussian with unknown covariance matrix and accounts for the joint presence of clutter plus thermal noise. The…
In distributed systems with asymmetric trust, each participant is free to make its own trust assumptions about others, captured by an asymmetric quorum system. This contrasts with ordinary, symmetric quorum systems and threshold models,…
