Title
Challenges in Covert Wireless Communications with Active Warden on AWGN channels.
Abstract
Covert wireless communication or low probability of detection (LPD) communication that employs the noise or jamming signals as the cover to hide useru0027s information can prevent a warden Willie from discovering useru0027s transmission attempts. Previous work on this problem has typically assumed that the warden is static and has only one antenna, often neglecting an active warden who can dynamically adjust his/her location to make better statistic tests. In this paper, we analyze the effect of an active warden in covert wireless communications on AWGN channels and find that, having gathered samples at different places, the warden can easily detect Aliceu0027s transmission behavior via a trend test, and the square root law is invalid in this scenario. Furthermore, a more powerful warden with multiple antennas is harder to be deceived, and Willieu0027s detection time can be greatly shortened.
