Title
Covert Communication via Dynamic Spectrum Control-Assisted Transmission Scheme
Abstract
To realize secure communication and prevent eavesdroppers from detecting the existence of communication activities, covert communication has attracted substantial research interests. In this paper, we propose a dynamic spectrum control (DSC)-assisted scheme to achieve covert and reliable data transmission. Specifically, by constructing time-frequency division channels, the proposed DSC-assisted scheme generates sequences with iterative and orthogonal transformations. Authorized users can orderly occupy different frequency slots in each time slot under the guidance of these sequences, thus achieving simultaneous data transmission without interfering with each other. Then, the covert performance of the proposed transmission scheme is analyzed to provide the closed-form expressions of covert transmission rate and the reliable transmission probability. Simulation results are provided to validate the accuracy of the theoretical analysis and demonstrate that the proposed scheme can achieve better covert and reliable transmission performances when compared with the existing scheme.
