Covert MIMO Communications Under Variational Distance Constraint

Scalable System Design for Covert Mimo Communications Dissertation

Covert underwater acoustic communications.

Low probability of detection (LPD) communications are conducted at a low received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to deter eavesdroppers to sense the presence of the transmitted signal. Successful detection at intended receiver heavily relies on the processing gain achieved by employing the direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technique. For scenarios that lack a sufficiently low SNR to maintain ...

On Protein Structure Alignment under Distance Constraint

In this paper we study the protein structure comparison problem where each protein is modeled as a sequence of 3D points, and a contact edge is placed between every two of these points that are sufficiently close. Given two proteins represented this way, our problem is to find a subset of points from each protein, and a bijective matching of points between these two subsets, with the objective ...

Covert Communications Employing Wavelet Technology

1 Atlantic Aerospace and Aware are developing a novel class of spread spectrum system architectures for covert communications based on the theory of wavelets. We describe a class of spread spectrum waveforms that are: (1) highly efficient in their use of signal energy; ( 2 ) indistinguishable in appearance from bandpass Gaussian noise; (3) devoid of secondand fourth-order cyclostationary featur...

Variational Conditions Under the Constant Rank Constraint Qualification

This paper studies solution properties of a parametric variational condition under the constant rank constraint qualification (CRCQ), and properties of its underlying set. We start by showing that if the CRCQ holds at a point in a fixed set, then there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the collection of nonempty faces of the normal cone to the set at that point and the collection of ac...
