• Abstract: Covert communication is the undetected transmission of sensitive information over a communication channel. In wireless communication systems, channel impairments such as signal fading present challenges in the effective implementation and analysis of covert communication systems. This paper generalizes early work in the covert communication field by considering asymptotic results for the number of bits that can be covertly transmitted in $n$ channel uses on a block fading channel. Critical to the investigation is characterizing the performance of optimal detectors at the adversary. Matching achievable and converse results are presented.

  We propose a novel framework of physical layer deception (PLD) to actively counteract wiretapping attempts. PLD combines PLS with deception technologies to actively counteract wiretapping attempts. We prove the validity of the PLD framework with in-depth analyses and demonstrate its superiority over conventional PLS approaches.

  We propose an interference-robust semantic communication (IRSC) scheme for general multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channels. This scheme involves the development of transceivers based on neural networks (NNs), which integrate channel state information (CSI) either solely at the receiver or at both transmitter and receiver ends. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed IRSC scheme effectively learns to mitigate interference and outperforms baseline approaches.

  Covert communication ensures that an adversary is unable to detect transmissions, which are concealed in channel noise. We investigate an achievable lower bound on quantum covert communication using photonic dual-rail qubits. This encoding has practical significance, as it has been proposed for long-range repeater-based quantum communication over optical channels.

  NextG communication systems are beginning to explore shifting this design paradigm to reliably executing a given task such as in task-oriented communications. Wireless signal classification is considered as the task for the NextG Radio Access Network (RAN), where edge devices collect wireless signals for spectrum awareness and communicate with the NextG base station (gNodeB) that needs to identify the signal label. Task-oriented communications is considered by jointly training the transmitter, receiver and classifier functionalities as an encoder-decoder pair for the edge device and the gNodeB.
